I have been running into a lot of screen issues. :( I coated, exposed and rinsed my screen twice already and both times the emulsion has started peeling off when I rinsed it. Mikaela is so generously helping me to try one more time. She tried putting a little bit thinner coat of emulsion on and said that we'll try using the power washer without the air pressure because it is a little bit gentler than the spray hose. Hopefully it will work this time. I'm really nervous about getting done by tomorrow so that I can start the bisque kiln on Tuesday. I still have to print onto the clay and add "frosting" to the clay forms. If I run into the same issue with my screen for a third time I think for the sake of time I am going to have to nix the screen printing idea and just add the frosting texture. I could potentially do hand carving, but I honestly don't think there is enough time left to do so.
I did a bunch of glaze tests on Thursday night and Friday and I think I have finally decided what glaze to use, so that's good. I also plan on testing the sand blaster to see if that could potentially create a really subtle pattern because of the difference in textures of the surfaces.
