Screen Printing 101 Tutorial

This tutorial by Ashley Hackshaw on Dharma Trading Post is great introduction to screen printing for those with little experience. I like how she explains the Speedball kit and shows that using photo emulsion is easier than it may seem. I think that her “screen sandwich” analogy is perfect for explaining the orientation of the transparency when exposing the image with natural light. The language is clear and direct – good tutorial!

Cheap Screen Printing Tutorial

I found this screen printing tutorial yesterday and I wanted to share this with the class.  I appreciate this as it shows you how you can make screen prints at home in a very DIY style, which would be great for T-Shirts, cards, and other small medium.

This is an interesting process, which would probably cost under $10, and does not use any special equipment.  I encourage you all to check it out here.

Great Running Blog/Inspiration

I love Helen Lavin’s running blog, “Live Life. Be Passionate“.   I may be a bit biased because I know her in person and know how great of a runner she is.  She is also very personable and humble about her accomplishments. ( Represented Ireland at the 2012 IAU 100k World Championship and a winner of numerous 100k and 100mile races in the USA ).

I really liked how she used quotes to describe why she runs, so I would like to incorporate few inspirational quotes on my instruction.
