I love printmaking. I also love horses. So why not combine them? Welcome to my vlog adventure of returning to printmaking after 8 years. This is also my very first time block printing on fabric without a printing press and learning the hand-printed version of the linocut process.
✨ IN THIS VIDEO I SHARE:
○ How I transfer an inkjet design to my blocks
○ Carving the rubber blocks & my linocutting tools
○ Test printing & how I know when I have the right ink consistency
○ How I wash & prep my shirts so the printing ink adheres well
○ How I block print on fabric by hand, without a printing press
○ How I apply ink to the block & how to tell when the consistency is right
○ Drying & heat setting the shirt designs for longevity
