The Prologue
World Book Day is here and what better way to spend it than screen printing? 📖 It's a great way for Schools, Universities and groups to experiment and share their creative talents and love of reading!
Well this year, that's exactly what A Level Art students from Tavistock College decided to do. The team from Hunt The Moon headed on down to teach basic level Stencil & Vinyl screen printing! It goes to say that the Year 12 A Level Art Students did an excellent job!
Chapter 1: The Tools used ✨
The tools the students (and teachers!) were using were:
A stack of ourÂ
Wooden Screen Printing Frame & Squeegee Bundle andÂ
Reynolds Plastic Coated Freezer Paper.
Our Eco Waterbased Screen Printing Ink in the Jet Black, Rocket Red & Midnight Blue, all in 1ltr ✨
And of course, a very handy roll of ourÂ
Blue Screen Printing Block Out Tape.
Chapter 2: The Idea 👀
The idea was simple, everyone would design & print their own T Shirts with the theme of World Book day in mind, these could range from illustrations and quotes to their own artistic take! 🎨
That one chapter with the surprise twist 😲
What was the twist? Well, considering for many of the students, this was their first foray into screen printing - they SMASHED it! They had some extremely creative ideas and amazing finished results ✨
Epilogue 📇
We had an amazing time with the students at Tavistock College, it was great to introduce them to a new art form and show them the possibilities of screen printing.
The end(?) 👀
We're hoping to do more workshops in the future, whether it's through online sessions we hold, schools and universities - if you could be interested then let us know.
