Screen Printing Workshop at Erge Designs

  On Friday, November 19, 2010, I went to the screen printing workshop at Erge Design that GAUGE hosted. This workshop was so much fun. I got to learn the process of screen printing. The type of screen printing that we got to do was hand made. At Erge they have two types of machines that they do screen printing on. One is hand made screen printing and the other is an automatic machine that does all the process of the screen printing. What I enjoyed about the screen printing work shop was that in the end we got to use the hand made screen printing machine. I made two shirts that had two different designs and we got to use two different types of paints. One was water based paint and the other was plasticizing paint. Here are the two shirts that I got to make. The shirt on the top is made with water base pain. It is a plain look and the shirt on the bottom is made with plasticizing paint. With plasticizing paint I learn that it gives it a plastic shiny look.
