**NEW** Hand Screen Printed Royal Jubilee Tea Towel

My new Tea Towel design inspired by the Sex Pistols and the Royal family is now availble to buy through my Etsy shop.  It's Hand Printed onto 100% Cotton.

The Screen Printing Process . . .

A good supplier of screen printing equipment is 'Wicked Printing Stuff', they stock just about everything you can imagine that is required for screen printing, they also offer very good advice.  I thought I'd include a step by step guide for new printers on the process . .

• 
  
  Screens are made by putting a chemical emulsion on a mesh surface.
• 
  
  Vector artwork is taken from Adobe Illustrator or Freehand and printed out on a film type paper or vellum.
• 
  
  The screen is then exposed on a light table with the artwork under it.
• 
  
  The light solidifies the chemicals around the design, and where the light failed to pass through, the chemical breaks down.
• 
  
  The screen is then rinsed out and what is left is the area where the light hit.
• 
  
  When screen-printing, one colour at a time is applied and therefore the cost will increase with each additional colour applied.
• 
  
  Likewise a separate screen is required for each colour.

You can then have fun experimenting!  Enjoy.

History

 My Textiles

Over the course of the last two years since moving to Bristol I have started to exhibit my work more as pieces of individual art rather then Textile Designs. Each piece I create is individual and could not be reproduced. I use foil, flocking, stitching and many ad hoc ideas to finish of my work. I currently have a website - www.hannahredden.co.uk which shows my early work. I will start using this Blog though to showcase my new work as I like the freedom of updating my work as is develops.

To date I have taken part in various local events, Hotwells Paintings on the Railings, Easton Arts Trail, Bristol Creatives event at Circomedia - http://www.circomedia.com/, In Bristol Open Studio events, Trowbridge Textile Festival . . . .

I joined Bristol Creatives not long after moving to Bristol, it has really helped me to connect with the arts scene in Bristol and offers a lot of help for up and coming artists - http://www.bristolcreatives.co.uk/ This is where I found out about my studio space - http://www.inbristol.org/
