Silk Screen Printing Photograms

Today I silk screened printed the photogram voted best by my peers. 

To begin with I printed off the image to A3 after increasing the contrast.

I then covered the paper in sunflower oil to make the paper translucent which allows the image to expose correctly on the screen.

I then covered my screen in light-blocking emulsion, waited for it to dry, exposed the image on my screen and cleaned the screen of the emulsion so the image came through. I chose to use acrylic paint with an emulsion mixer so my prints would dry quicker and the screen would be easier to clean.

My prints came out well, however the prints had lost some of the detail from the original photogram due to the high contrast. Because of this I won't be taking this technique any further in my project.
