Though I do have a huge studio, I still work pretty small. I like art work that can be handled, that is intimate and draws you in closer.
When I took my first printmaking class, I bought a very big screen and I have not used it since. It is just too big. It is the yellow screen shown in the picture. I am glad to have it if I need it, but for my everyday screen printing projects I use much smaller screens.
The picture shows a 11″ x 14″ 11o mesh screen, a 6″x 6″ homemade screen with tulle, and an embroidery hoop screen with a drawing fluid image.
When I use Thermofax screens, I like to layer lots of small images and print quickly with a small squeegee.
What about you? What size screen prints do you like to pull? Do you have a system to maximize your space?
