New work

New work
Yes, I am going to write a book on screen printing . I hope to be able to answer the questions other books haven’t .My plans include doing hands on research on emulsions,
among other subjects. So many products have changed - emulsions that can be applied in daylight, emulsions that “burn” in less than 2 minutes .So stay tuned .
Be on the look out for a screen printing book by Jen Swearington www.jennythreads.net
