This is my first hands-on experience at a printmaking workshop. I have heard stories about it, I have seen what it can produce. I have yet to witness the entire process in making one much less the experience in making one for myself.
Even though this is a short span of 3 hours induction workshop it really got my friends and I excited. We have learn about the different tools and equipment that goes around making a print.
With a first hand experience of making a silk print. I have now learn quite a bit on what goes into a print. The different and various steps and processes that goes into it as well.
Yes printmaking may seem fun at first but really tedious when really creating our very own print. But how can I push the limits and boundaries of printmaking/silk printing so that the print will be different from the rest. A cut above the rest. Nothing that is ever seen before. It takes a creative genius to be able to do this. But it could happen to students as well, couldn't it?
