I am in love with silk-screening fabrics! It is clean and crisp and so rewarding. None of the sore fingers from exacto knifing hundreds of semi-circles from cardstock or the smudgy printing with acrylic paints. It is lovely.
I am currently taking a silkscreening textiles course at Santa Reparata Fuji Studio in Florence, Italy. It is absolutely wonderful. We only have class two days a week at first, but as soon as I leave the studio, I want to be back there, printing and designing more. I printed my first test print on Wednesday, and I love it! It is exactly how I was hoping it would turn out, made more perfect because her scrap box for test prints contained the most perfect flamingo salmon color possible. I am in heaven. As soon as I left class, I was dreaming up a senior show of a collection of fabrics hung on the walls and incorporated into modern geometric quilts. I can't wait to keep printing!
