Ok how do you do it? When you book the studio to start working on your masterpiece how do you prepare for it before, during and after? Do you establish the wet & dry area? Do you cut your paper before & soak overnight? Perhaps you bring your own inks & specialist hair dryer or some other piece of equipment. During the last members day we conversed about how we as individuals do things in the studio & it seemed as though we all started off with the best intentions & why wouldnt you? It's on! Some prepped entirely the day before came to the studio with a specific focus & got stuck in methodically. Others were most clear that their immersion was intuitive & they worked on several things (if thats possible) with inks rolled out & prints simultaneously added to & viewd on the floor! Then if another person is in the studio it adds a further dimension to the whole process. At Impress studios a while ago i came accross Silda one of our members screenprinting & she was well prepared because she had notes from a prior workshop in front of her to refer to as she did her screens as well as the items to print on, apron etc She was going to print onto bags & was all set as she followed all the steps..but...
Not long after she ran into problems with the design & short of phoning a friend, she was able to speak to others hanging around the studio for advice...theres lots of possibilites why things dont work & having people around gives you a few options to solve the problem. It takes all sorts in this printmaking mallarkey.. and soon enough you will find yourself sharing your experiences too. Happy days... You can find Silda (she really is super) on instagram as well as her etsy shop SANATcraft
