equipment for thermofax printing sunflower image architecture image I’m doing a demo and information session on thermofax printing at the WAFTA workday at Craft House Menora this Friday morning 5th September. I’ll have some new and a few used screens for sale too. This is not a hands on workshop – just a chance to […]
I’m involved in a postcard swap with the Aust/NZ art quilt Yahoo group – the topic is gelatine printing. Here are a few of mine.
Today I finished this 12″x 12″ quilt. It was started last year but abandoned. I thought it might be suitable for a challenge issued by the SAQA Oceania Facebook group I’m a member of. The challenge was to research unity and make a small quilt using that design principle. So I used circles, repetition, a […]
A couple of pages in my visual diary – I’ve used my Gelli plate as a stamp and rolled excess paint onto the page.
This is my cleanup sheet, it’s quite nice too. Below Gelli prints on paper.

Organza is difficult to photograph but here are a couple of pics. I have 3 different weights in handwoven Cambodian silk as well as some other silk organza. The Cambodian silk is lovely – a more open weave, which will give a nice variety when it’s all pieced together. Below: on the print table before […]
Some silk on my print table which has been breakdown printed using the screen in a previous post. It looks a lot more yellow now it has been washed out so I’ll over dye some of it but I’m reasonably happy with it. I’m doing various silks printed with gum leaves for an exhibition piece […]
I’ve been making some tools – varnished some wood printing blocks, squeegees and silkscreen frames. The one above has also been re-taped as well. I also mixed up some manutex and cleared off my print table and bench top. I hope tomorrow I’ll get to do some breakdown printing. It’s 1 of my favourite techniques […]
