So after the screen printing area at Cellspace was ransacked by a former employee (once upon a time Cellspace had employees), I was given the opportunity to put my woodworking skills to the test. The test in question was successfully building a new lightbox with which to expose screens, about a one half on the carpentry difficulty scale from one to ten, and I am ashamed to say that I could barely manage it.
The screen printing workshop for kids was not a complete disaster. I’ll be damned if every kid in that whole school didn’t get to make a print. Some of them didn’t even hate it.
Here is a somewhat painful excerpt from the into to one of the last sessions. I think I make five assumptions before the first three seconds are up. Teacher of the year right here.
Here’s my latest poster design (that I have no plans to actually screen print myself). Which is good (because my screen printing studio has suddenly become dismantled). (More details later.)
