Screen Printing the Backdrop


SCREEN PRINTING BACK DROP  


This morning Steph , Nicole and Zac began to create the backdrop for our area.

The dimensions are 5 meters wide by a height of 3 meters.

The fabric Steph source from Fabric Warehouse was 1 meter by 10 meters.


FINAL RESULT

Although there are minor errors in the screen printing ( original emultion rubbing off) the full length turned out really well as a backdrop and will cover alot of white space in the area . 

I believe this should start giving the scene a real tropicana vibe 
















PREPARATION : 

Mixing the Emultion + Green Paint to get a light green for the first coat 







Washing and Prepping the Screen with
- Masking Tape 
- Brown Emultion 
- Ultra Violet light to create stencil imprint
- Screen A3



Steph  (Textiles Major) made the stencil







TEST PRINT DRAFT 1:


-Light Green Print 
-Dark Green overlay Print on top

NICOLE + STEPH + ZAC 

WE ALL GOT INVOLVED AND LEARNT A AWESOME NEW SKILL !!!!!!!
