However many times I do it, there are still parts of the screenprint process that I find almost magical. One is of course the building up and overlaying of colours. Another is this stage: when the screen is washed off to reveal the stencils.

The screen is first coated with a light sensitive emulsion, then the opaque black artworks are exposed under a strong light source which hardens the areas not covered by an image. The areas where the light could not pe*****te remain unstable and can then be washed off.

It takes a lot of time to prep everything before getting down to the actual printing. But hopefully it’s worth it.

This screen now has 5 separate stencils on it, ready to print. Any idea what the subject matter is?

I’ve resisted using apps like this illustrate artwork in situ, preferring to photograph the framed print itself in a real life context. But this latest print is quite large so mocking it up with different kinds of frames is helpful in deciding what look to go for before investing in a physical frame. And let’s face it, the rooms shown here are tidier and probably more stylish than anything I could photograph in my own house.

So, having succumbed, here are some mocked-up examples of how ‘Sunday morning’ (the larger version) could look on the wall, in a variety of frames.

🔲 Two separate editions: blue and terracotta.

🔲 Each is a limited edition of 10, printed on high quality Somerset fine art paper.

🔲 Paper size 63x48cm; image size 53x39cm plus a white border including signature and edition number.

🔲 Currently available for just £160.

Following on from my last post, here now is a whizz through the printing of the final two colour layers of this new screenprint.

It’s not easy to condense several hours work into 60 seconds so I’ve done a lot of speeding up and cutting out - so apologies if it’s a bit jerky. But to get the registration precise can take ages so I don’t think it would be much fun to watch the unabridged version!

You’ll see that all 4 layers of colour are now printed and the finished screenprints are on the drying rack. I now just need to check, trim, sign and edition each print as part of a limited edition. To those who’ve already expressed interest in this one, I’ll be in touch as soon as that last stage is done. Do message me if you’d like more details.

‘Summer breeze’
Because we could all do with some in the UK today ☀️

This is one of my larger screenprints, created as a small limited edition of just 5 prints. Swipe for some detail pics as the print was building up, and finally framed and exhibited last year along with the beautiful ceramics by .

Sounds of the screenprint studio.

30 seconds of snippets of the screenprint process - without even getting to any printing.


I’ll be posting more soon about the prepping for screenprinting - with some explanation - but for now, enjoy the orchestra!

Good to be back printing in the studio today after a couple of weeks away.

First, finally achieving a consistent run of an image you may recognise from a few months ago when I did zillions of proofs and several different variations. This one still needs to be handfinished with watercolour but at least I now have 16 prints which are all pretty much identical so can be released as a limited edition. I’ll post the final result once I’ve done the painting bit.

Second, printing a tiny bit of white over white… I know, I know, but it was bugging me and even if no one else notices it I now feel happier that this one has the white I like and so now really is finished.

Looking forward to starting something new next time I’m in the studio.
