For today's workshop we started with printmaking with Jess. For this we etched a pattern onto Perspex and using oil paints, printed the design onto wood, cotton and paper.
During the studio practise I had already design a few patterns to which i could use for the printmaking workshop. The design I chose to use was a Julie Mahetru inspired design. I began to etch this onto an A5 sized sheet of Perspex using different lines and ways to etch such as crossetching. Then using different coloured oil paints,I coated the Perspex in paint using a small piece of card to push the paint into the etched lines and a separate piece of paper to buff off excess paint. I then placed a damp sheet of paper on the Perspex and put it through a roller to press the design onto the paper. I also tried to print the pattern onto wood but this failed
