John McGowan Printmaker shows how he makes his screen prints using photo emulsion and Lascaux Tusches to draw and paint his images.
John has been printmaking for 50 years and has taught printmaking for forty of them. His work is in the collection of The Museum of London and Northampton Museum and Art Gallery, as well as many private collections all over the world.
Using a system described in "Screeenprinting, the complete water-based system" by Adam and Robertson, he shows the different techniques of drawing and painting onto acetate sheets that he uses to create a 9 colour fine-art print.
The video shows him working in his print studio and garage. It's not high-tech and there are many pointers for those who wish to set up a home based screen printing facility. The majority of John's equipment is home made including the vacuum table and light boxes.
