I know everyone has been chomping at the bit for silkscreen.
While it might seem easy to bust out at the space it took a few things to get going before it could be ordered. Everything is a dance around here everything.
@Double-D and @talkers are working to finish a cart for screen drying. It’s 90% done. If you want to help please let either of them know (although I think Devin is now in San Antonio) it needs some simple welding for the fan/switches and some light finishing touches.
I ordered a total of 20 screens to begin with. They will be here Tuesday or Wednesday. I must count on members to PAY for the screens or we will go fat broke. When the “silkscreen team” met we agreed on a $35 price tag for classes that will include your own screen (mesh size of your choosing based on need) emulsion for one screen and two pieces of inkjet film for your image.
With the annex not being complete and a busted printer I didn’t see the need for the screens to be purchased and stagnate. It’s a significant investment buying the screens I assure you and locks up a large % of money until classes get rolling. It makes me sweat to be honest.
I’m worried about not being here to police the screens. I’m giving them over to the care to @Photomancer. I intend to have them stored in the CA room ontop of the rolling carts in clear view of the camera. Forgive my worry - its more expensive than all the furniture I bought for the space. This CC is burning in my hand this month.
I know PR and woodshop have requested screens. You need to pay for them as well. via an email to finace. @Team_PR @Team_Woodshop
Classes can begin as soon as @Hardsuit Astrud is ready to roll them out or anyone else who knows how to burn screens begins teaching them.
If you are aware of how to burn your own screens and you want to forgo the classes let’s talk.
