day 1. my first time printing in the surface pattern print room at Staffs Uni for nearly 30 years. the ever present Sue was there to show me the ropes, just as she was when I started there in 1990! so I can now coat screens, expose screens and print from them, which I think represents a good first session. I initially used existing artwork just so that I could pick up the technical stuff and get used to the workspace, which after being used to working on my kitchen table, was quite liberating. the plan now is to create some new artwork, based on my collages, and get them on screen and see what I come up with. hopefully back in next week so watch this space.
