This week we have been looking a what merchandise we can edit to sell on at the charity event. We are hoping to get a batch load of "bag for life" bags and screen-printing the selected design onto them to sell on for a few pounds a piece - the proceeds will go to the Ugandan Humanist Schools Trust. I have researched the method of how to screen-print and summarised it via four points.
Step One :
Stretch the item out so that it is flat and the ink
can be applied smoothly.
Step Two:
Create a stencil which will expose each colour which
you wish to print. Starting at the base colour.
Step Three:
Place the stencil upon the stretched and framed mesh
upon the strecthed item. Squirt ink/paint along one end.
Step Four:
Use a squeegee to drag the colour along. Wait for it to
dry and then follow the steps with the next colour.
