How to make hand-made screen prints with Kerry Lemon
Kerry Lemon explains how to make hand-made screen prints using our System3 Screen Printing products.
Tip: to have long-lasting fun with your created design on the mesh, always make sure to remove the acrylic after each usage straight away, so you can re-use your mesh for many prints to come.
In this hands‑on tutorial, mixed‑media artist Kerry Lemon walks us through creating hand‑made screen prints using the System3 Screen Printing range. Her approach is practical, creative, and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy accessible printmaking from home.
What You’ll Need
The tutorial outlines the essential materials required:
-
System3 Acrylic Screen Printing Ink — These ready‑to‑use inks are highly pigmented, solvent‑free, and offer excellent colour strength and lightfastness.
-
System3 Screen Printing Medium — A water‑soluble additive that’s mixed with any System3 Acrylic Paint to convert it into vibrant, screen‑printing ink. It also slows drying time, making cleanup easy.
-
System3 Screen Printing Set — A complete starter kit that equips you to print across surfaces like fabric, paper, canvas, or board, with no harsh solvents needed.
Kerry also emphasises a key tip to prolong the life of your printing mesh: always wash off the acrylic medium from the screen immediately after use so it remains reusable for many future prints.
Why This Method Works
This process is as sustainable as it is simple. The materials are environmentally friendly, forgiving, and built for repeat use. Kerry’s guidance encourages creativity with minimum fuss – making screen printing feel fun and accessible, whether you’re crafting at home or working with a small studio setup.
