Hi all,  I'm working on a very interesting project at the moment- developing creative painting experiences to open people's minds and tap into their natural creative spirit which lies within all of us. Particularly good at unblocking people creatively and I am keen to apply my workshops in a technological environment. I would love to hear from anyone who would like some workshops in a computer- based environment- perhaps with programmers, or technology developers on the cutting edge. I know some work has been done in America in regards to left brain/ right brain activity and brain training often involves creative processes and lateral thinking strategies. I think my creative painting experiences are great for drawing out people's natural creativity in an unforced, open and fun way. People always end up laughing and covered in paint.

Please get in touch for one free taster session and see how it can boost the creativity of your team and increases productivity for any job which needs lateral thinking.

Here's some of my new photographic work- all copyrighted to Zoe Clarke Fine Artist, enjoy:

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.
