Silk screen processes

Serigraphy

Or otherwise known as the process of silk screening.

1.       A cut stencil is attached to a silk screen of fine mesh which has been stretched on a wooden frame

2.       Coloured printing ink is forced through the unmasked areas of the screen with a squeegee.

Putting a photograph onto a silk screen:

1.       Photocopy the image in black and white onto acetate using a photocopier.

2.       Select a pre-coated photo-emulsion silk screen (green)

3.       Place the silk screen face down on top of the images in the large exposure machine.

4.       Close the lid using the clips on top of the machine.

5.       Press the vacuum button.

6.       Press go button- wait for Infra red light to expose image onto the screen. Where it’s black on the image it won’t expose the screen (and therefore it will allow ink through to print).

7.       Wash off the unexposed areas of the screen using the power spray over the sink- Do the inside first, do both sides.

8.       Then when all areas have been washed away- put it mesh side up in the drying drawers.

Post 1st year MA Exhibition write up

Successful things we did for the exhibition	Any suggestions for improvement
We worked well as a team
We kept our cool under pressure and negotiated well under difficult circumstances
“ full days to set up was good- 1 day to clean and paint and one day to hang the show	Involve everyone next time

Things we could do differently next time
Make the shop more visible from the outside- possibly with a sandwich board on the pavement
Receipt book for sales
Proper contact and comments book
Coordinate everyone’s contact details for our group
Coordinate everyone’s contact lists for the invitations
Allow at least two weeks before the show to send out invitations
Make sure everyone is insured against theft/ loss/ or damage (free with a years subscription to Artists Newsletter)
Write and send out press releases to local press (check deadlines for the press )
Build up the credibility of each artist for future references
Send out follow up press after the show and promotion on social network sites and to local press.
