Thermofax Printing Workshop Video Preview & Overview
The power of the thermofax lies in its capability to print very fine line designs; handwriting, a spider’s web, old documents such as birth certificates or school reports, sketches and so forth.
In simple terms, a thermofax screen is a small, imaged silkscreen.
It’s light-weight, takes up little storage space, is easy to use and easy to make – or have made for you.
You don’t even need to buy a machine! There are many suppliers who are selling affordable thermofax screens – all you need to do is provide the imagery and they do the rest!
This book and accompanying video demonstration has been prepared to help you explore the potential of the thermofax screen in terms of bringing your personal imagery alive. We suggest you sit comfortably and read the book through from cover to cover. Take a look at the pictures, be inspired and then make a decision as to where to start – which could be anywhere. Enjoy the process, and enjoy being in a creative space.

Do you need to buy a Thermofax machine to take the course?
Absolutely not. There are many people who offer pre-made designs and as well produce custom screens from your artwork for such a low cost it really isn’t necessary to buy and maintain a machine. Either way, the workshop explores both producing your own screens from scratch as well as developing personal imagery for your work.
Do I need to understand color mixing or how to prepare anything to begin?
Everything you need is covered in the workshop. Dye recipes as well as how to make everything from Chemical Water to Print Paste is reviewed both in the video and in the written portion.
