The Screen Printing Process

Throughout my art projects over the last few years I have experimented with screen-printing. I thought I would explain the process of screen printing for you to understand.

Screen printing is a printing process that uses a woven mesh screen to support an ink-blocking stencil to receive a desired image. 
Using an image with strong contrasts you use a light box and the stencil shape copies onto the screen. Using printing ink you make the colour you want and place it on the downside of the screen.
Using a blade push the paint across the screen, then put the material you wish the image to be printed on below and pull the blade back across the screen. 
Use a thick layer of ink when doing your prints, and make sure you thoroughly wash your screen after using it.

Below is an image of the process:
