Printing Techniques

Screen printing is a printing technique primarily used for applying designs onto textiles and other materials. It involves a frame with fine mesh, typically made from aluminum, known as a screen printing frame. A separate frame is required for each color used in the design. The process is straightforward, versatile, and relatively inexpensive, making it accessible for everyone to try. Learn in this blog how to screen print your own design onto a T-shirt!

Linocut printing is a technique where parts of the linoleum are carved away to create areas that will remain white when printing on paper. You use a gouging tool for cutting. The parts you want to appear in the print should remain uncut; this is where the ink (or paint) will be applied and transferred onto the paper. It's akin to creating a large stamp.
