​I screen-print mainly on linen and handmade paper.  The design starts with something that catches my eye... it might be bird or a plant, caught in silhouette. This is then made into a drawing. Having done the drawing I then need to make the image into a design; this usually involves fine tuning line thicknesses to show shading, deciding how to balance the more solid areas of the image with finer lines. I need to make sure that what caught my eye in the first place, about the plant or bird, is now captured in the design and will hopefully produce the same response I had when I saw the image first.
I cut out the linen and print images where planned. Once the ink is dry, I heat-cure each piece of printed linen, making it washable at 30 degrees.

Once I am happy with the design I then transfer it to my screen. The screen is ready to print with when the design has been made into a negative and all non image areas have been painted with screen-filler to prevent ink going through.
