This post is about the induction in screenprinting on textile.
At first, I wanted to learn how to print on textile, but to do so, I needed to do the induction for screenprinting. Once, this induction was completed I was able to sign up for the induction to screenprinting on textile through the orb sytem.
Screenprinting on textile uses the same techniques as screenprinting, though the mesh on the screen is different than the one used for paper.
The picture below show examples of different way to create a screen from a photography.
The instructor showed us how to stretch and hold in place the textile.
Then we learned how to mix the ink for the print.
And we were shown how to hold the screen in place to realise the print using marking and sandbags.
The printing process is then the same as screenprinting on paper.
We could them heat up the textile to fix the pigment.
