Devore - Procne

Screen Printing Devore

After realising the colour techniques onto the velvet, Myself and Rhyannon explored the design of the collar. We suggested to Bethan that Screen Printing Devore onto the velvet as it would give a crisp outline, like that of her design.

Bethan after this drew the pattern/design she wanted the collar to have. We transferred the design onto a screen through photocopying the drawing onto acetate to expose onto the screen.

Velvet Devore Sample

The results of the Devore were fantastic! We also though that underneath the removed fibres section you could have a different colour lining to highlight the contrast even more.

I am so happy I have learnt how to expose a screen now, Alison taught me how to use the machine. It is such a useful skill to have!

I think this technique will look really effective with this design, and can't wait to see how it will look!
