Yesterday we had our first printmaking session. I have done printmaking before so I found this fairy easy. We did relief printing which is where you put ink onto a slightly 3d object, then place the object onto the paper, and the object prints. This can get messy! We also did mono printing which is where you roller ink onto a plastic sheet and then you place a piece of paper onto the sheet and draw on top.
Today we had a lesson with James(publishing). We did some 'sun prints'. Sun prints are where you use light sensitive paper. You place objects on the light sensitive paper, then place the paper in the sun.This activates the 'print' process as the sunlight bleaches the paper except where your objects are.
Watch out for a blog post on how my sun prints turned out (in my opinion)
woop woop sun print!
