To soak paper up to A3, without a bath, you will need:
– bin bag or large reusable plastic shopping bag
– a spray/mister OR a very clean sponge
– fresh water – don’t let the water sit in the sprayer for too long
– small squares or ‘tabs’ of paper, something 5cm x 5cm will do

Lay out the bag very flat.
– Mist or sponge the top of…Read more

– if you can, gently moisten the paper or fabric, to make it softer and more pliable

The drier the fish is, most you’ll print ink, rather than fish juice.

You can use a brush to apply inks, including waterbased, india inks, etc. This would be the…Read more

If you are using oil-based products, the key will be to mix them with enough oil/extender to develop thin, translucent layers, and then to roll or scrape…Read more

Thanks for getting in touch! There are a number of safe-wash oil based inks for relief printing, and there are broadly similar. All oil based inks are basically the same – they contain pigment, binder, and drier. Driers tend to be the hazardous component. The reason the Caligo safe wash inks are so safe, is that they have very little…Read more

Thanks for the reply!
We are definitely looking at stuff that can be made at home. We want the website to be useful after uni as well, so we’re thinking about processes and kit that will help keep practices going.

(It’s Ling, btw, my official first name is Jacqueline which is why this has happened)

What are you up to now? Are you…Read more

So what do you want?

Links to artists?
Step-by-step guides?
Lo-tech printing?
Stuff you can do from home?
Information about the workshops?

What do you want this site to be?
