Thermofax prints for texture

I love lots of layers in a mixed media print. I like to draw the viewer in for a closer look into the layers of marks that make up the whole print.

Screen printing with the thermo fax screen is great for times when you want to make lot’s of impressions of the same design. So today I played with 17 small prints and 4 book spreads and one spirograph screen.

Thermo fax screens are good for line drawings and details that you can’t get with other types of screen printing. I made this spirograph drawing, photocopied it and then burned a screen with my 3M transparency maker.

You only need a couple of screens to get started playing with this method of screen printing. I put together a kit of

  • 8 untaped screens, as shown below and
  • access to a lesson and 4 videos to prepare the screens,
  • pull prints, ideas for surfaces to print on and
  • how to care for your screen.

$40.00 USD includes 8 screens and access to 4 private videos and basic instructions.
