There’s no glamour in being an artist, there’s loads of messiness and cleaning up. It’s also expensive and it’s important to reuse and recycle as many materials as possible. There’s always a lot of screenprint inks left over after courses at Swansea Print Workshop and if they’re stored properly they can be usable for months. It’s a bit of a problem finding the right storage system though. Glass jars are not very safe in a workshop setting and plastic polypockets can get messy. So today I tried out some small (10 oz) IKEA foodbags and they worked a treat. They look quite cute too.
