Printing

After deciding on a final design we thought it would be best to get booked into the dye room as soon as possible and get started. Our group consisted of Niamh, Sophie, Zennor and I. Niamh created an image for us to use for the silk screens then the next day Sophie and I had booked in with Jess to use the dye room. Honestly, i'd always been worried about the first time I would use the dye room properly as I found jess quite scary! But actually after her showing us how to use everything and teaching us how to create the silk screens, I found that she's actually lovely!! The process of making a silk screen and printing was something I had never done before but so glad I learnt. It taught me that I need to be much more confident with using the different facilities around the uni whilst I'm here and to not be scared!

Printing onto the fabric was very daunting as we were printing black puff binder onto white fabric, which, of course, can easily go wrong. However we got into the swing of things pretty quickly and had a finished printed fabric for the front panel of the skirt by the end.
