Any money left for this project will go toward the purchase of chemicals, paper, extra drying racks, or other art supplies that will be made available to members or for demos. This space will be open to any member or renter who demonstrates an ability to use it safely!Silk Screen Area:The grant would provide 10 aluminum screens (24X36), 4-6 squeegees and 1-2 scoop squeegees; screens will be labeled and held for use by a renter/member for a month period. There are slight differences between squeegees for cloth or paper printing. Also provided would be screen filler, dish detergent (for cleaning screen filler), photo emulsion,and photo emulsion solvent/remover, masking tape, a dish scrub brush, 1 gallon black ink, and 1 gallon white ink.
