I have been very busy this month experimenting and working on new ideas! This has made me very productive in the workshop, but not very good at writing my blog! Anyway………
I am learning to print on glass using various techniques. Firstly I have been making some lino cuts and direct printing
onto glass this way. The results have been varied and though I very much like the effect I am finding getting the right consistency of the paint a bit hit and miss, however, using a roller not a ponce or a brush to apply the paint has helped greatly and I have made a new range of Valentines items as a result, available on my website . I am also experimenting with firing photograph images onto glass (coming out of the kiln today!) and I have 2 new series of work coming along nicely in my studio. So lots to tell you about in the next few weeks!
That’s really interesting, do you prep the glass at all for the printing?
Other than cleaning it no. But you could acid etch the glass surface first, to give a frosted texture or you could put a thin wash of glass paint over the glass first.
Amy, I enjoy looking at the progression of your work. You have lovely ideas. Thank You.
