Screen Printing

After my failed attempts at Rayograms, I thought trying hand made print was the way forward and when to the print workshop on the Harmer buildings 4th floor. I asked if it was possibly to screen print photos they said it was all I had to do was change the mode in Photoshop my going to;

Image > Mode > Grayscale (as shown in the screen shot below)

I then had to change the printing mode to screen to make the detail and shadings of the image into dots to make it easier to see the detail. You can see this in the new image below

I did this for all 5 images and printed them in to a run of 5 images 

I had to oil the back of the images with vegetable oil to make the paper transparent and this allows the images to printed on the screen when covered in light sensitive paint, and locked into the developing machine. Once the screen is set up I am ready to start printing
