Screen printing
Introduction
Give old clothes a new lease of life - and save them from being thrown away?
This teaching unit introduces the technique of screen printing.
Using step-by-step instructions, the various stages leading up to the printed T-shirt are clearly explained.
Firstly, a simple and quick way of designing a logo or lettering for printing is shown. The pupils can then prepare the screens for printing with the logos they have designed themselves.
Firstly, the pupils learn how to coat the screens. This work step is followed by screen exposure and development.
Once the screen has been developed, the clothing
can be printed.
