Another innovative use of acetate

Another satisfied customer with very rich and complex full colour acetates of collaged images
which work very well with the ghostly projections below.

Hi Peter,
Fantastic! Thankyou so much for doing them so quickly. 
I'll definitely send you a picture of them!

Many thanks again,

Sophie

Great use of Black & White acetates

Here ten overlapping Black and White acetate prints of faces
give an interesting and successful effect.


 Hi Peter,

Sorry for the delay in replying/sending a photo.
Thanks for your help, they looked great!
Attached a photo for you.

Thanks again,

Nicola

Acetates used on windows in Pop-up Gallery

Another innovative use for acetates in paler colours than we've attempted before. Thanks to Jack Moolark from United Through Art who used these two large acetates for a Pop-up Gallery in Columbia Road late last year.

Hello Peter,
Hope you're well here are the Snaps from the show.

Thanks again for your help.

All the best,

Jack













































Thanks Jack!

Screen printing with CSM student Josse Pickard


Printing in the studio with Josse Pickard, third year Graphic Design student at Central St Martins. Here you can see his stunning Eagle and typography prints...


Serious concentration - final colour in a three colour print and yes that is a brick on the print table!











































Great Eagle! - very slight miss on the registration.


The Acetate separations, you can see here that our acetate is slightly cloudy. Good for screen exposure but not if you're after clear acetate.

Introducing Petra...

Screen Printing with CSM student Josh Saunders


Screen printing with Josh Saunders (an illustration student at CSM) in the studio last week.  Here you can see one of his incredible fine line illustrative drawings....



A close up detail of the Acetate we printed, some of the lines were as
fine as 0.2mm




















Josh had made a wooden frame and we stretched a very fine mesh on it,
the tension wasn't great but it coated and exposed almost perfectly.




















Printing with acrylic mixed with screen printing medium.




















Getting the number of pulls right was problematic because of the fine lines
- after a few trials we used a textile squeegee which had a half rounded edge.




















A screen stretched under proper tension would have made things easier -
but it's always good to be reminded that you can achieve great things
with basic materials!




















Detail showing the final print - nice work !
