(Keen as mustard) I prepared my screen, then mixed acrylic paint with 50% PVA glue. I registered the print using an acetate sheet underneath the silk screen.
Using a squeegee I flooded the screen with ink and then I pulled some prints. Experimented with a selection of papers and even fabric. We were also shown a peppering technique which involved dusting the acetate with baby powder which created a speckled texture.
Returned home covered in acrylic paint but really enjoyed the session and cannot wait for session 4!
Looks like fun! If you don't mind me asking, was the mixing of the paint with PVA to create a more printing ink like texture? I've just bought some printing medium for acrylics, I didn't know PVA could be used!
