The technical bit

Screenprints are produced by pushing ink through a fine mesh that is stretched over a wood or aluminium frame. By using a photographic process the image to be printed is exposed onto the mesh. The ink is pulled across by a rubber blade called a squeegee and is deposited onto the paper beneath. Each colour is printed separately. It is a lengthy and labour intensive process that has taught Jane two things: patience and how to remove acrylic ink from a variety of fabrics.
