Process of Silk screen

























My experience of silk screening over the past couple of days has been absolutely disastrous. Previously in this project I learned the process of flocking and foiling which is very similar; however I have never done silk screen before but have been to an induction. I was fine with remembering the process of cleaning the screen to begin with and exposing the image on the screen but when it came to printing the images I struggled to apply the paint to the screen. When using the vacuum bed the paper just stuck to the screen meaning that I had to clean the screen and start from scratch. This made me realise how many processes I have learned from this project; however I haven't developed them to a high standard and this is what I need to do in the future. To help me to remember the process I devised a step by step diagram above. I am a visual learner so I find things like this easier to understand. This will come in useful next time.
