New Textile Prints




I am very excited today because I have managed to organise myself and post a few pics of behind the scenes
textile prints. Steve from Screenhaus has been printing my fabrics for the last 12 months. The quality of his printing is superb and the colour matching has been so accurate. The process includes creating all artwork and designs in illustrator which I do in my sunny home studio on the northern beaches, very lucky, I know. Then the films are made from this artwork and exposed onto large screens for hand printing the textile base cloth. This base cloth is usually a natural blend of silk, cotton or linens.
