Learning to relief print (and writing backwards!)

As the next stage of our collaborative art project, we began to think about the imagery we wanted to include on our piece.  We began by mind-mapping words and images that could be used to respond to the theme of refugees.

We then learned how to create a print, using polystyrene press-print tiles, and then practised preparing the ink and rollering it on to the tile.  The next step was to create a test print to see if our design worked.

We discovered the pitfalls of writing backwards! Glad we were just expereimenting!
