This was an excessively long day. Tomorrow is the last day of the workshop so things should calm down after that.

That is a beautiful print!! Can I ask how you made it? I'd love to try something like that with one of my photos of Chester and Ned. :-)

It started with a digital photo. There are two stages to the process, the first in photoshop and the second with silkscreen. In photoshop you convert the image to CMYK and split channels so you get an image for each color. For each image you apply a filter for halftone screen which converts the entire image to a dot pattern. Print off one of each of the colors.

The rest is screenprinting. Photoemulsion is applied to a screen, and the printed image is exposed on it for each of the colors. Then each color is screenprinted on the paper. It's not a difficult process, but it is a bit involved.
