One of our past participants, Marion, sent us these photos of what goes on during the Spins & Needles Silkscreening 101 Workshop. The photos capture the different steps in the silkscreening process – from making the screen to coating and washing the screen out to burning your image to printing and the end results.
Marion took the workshop last February to actualize a project she had been thinking about for a long time – printing choufleurs (cauliflower in French) on fabric – to create scarves, t-shirts, underwear (!) for friends and family.
To see more photos to get you inspired, check out more photos on our Flickr page or the Spins & Needles Silkscreening 101 Workshop page.
Thanks Marion!
