Screen Printing

Today I spent some beautiful moments retracing my footsteps in printing. I forgot how much i love the printing process.... its so beautiful 

(Framed final Print)

During my college days doing A level art, BTEC in Art and design and then HND in fashion and Textiles i remembered learning print..... however to this present day i remember very little regarding the stages of printing and today the exciting process of creating a screen with endless pages of layers and textures has renewed my love for print!! Even though the prep is a superrrr long process - filled with washing, drying, cleaning, coating, exposing and such.... its so great going through the process to then reach the point where the print can be made in multiple endless creative ways.

I AM Totally addicted and i will be doing prints for wildsuga in the near future for sure ...
