OTHER STUDENTS PRINTS

Here are examples of other students work made during the print workshop, the processes include:

• 
  
  Screen Printing
  
  
  

This is quite a complicated and technical method of printing if thinking of doing it in a classroom environment but all the same, if done with care it is the best way to create sharp graphic prints that can be produced a number of times.

• Colleographs- using a rised surface to create an interesting textured print

These again are a great printing method as it allows you to be experimental with materials and colour. Not only do you get nice prints, but quite often the original colleograph is a work of art in itself.

• 
  
  Lino printing
  
  
  
• Wood block printing using MDF
• 
  
  Layered corrigated cardboard ( oftenused to package white goods)
  
  
  

As can be seen in the images many students used more then one colour in the printing process or used strips of tissue paper or collage to print on, turning a single colour print into a coloured image without the complication of having to allign your printing block for a number of other colours, or cutting away for each different layer of colour applyed.

• 
  
  Dry point etching - using a biro, pin or needle type tool to scratch or depress the surface, to create line drawing or texture. In some instances people also peeled away the shinyer top layer to reveal the softer grain underneath to create different tones.
  
  
  

Many of use created storys, sinarious or cartoon strips which were great fun and quick and easy to produce once a printing press is accessible, definantly a project for the classroom.

• Monoprints

A method of printing that produces very illustrative results.
