Screen Printing - Washing out a Screen
After you expose your screen if you look really, really closely you can possibly see the image(s) on the screen. The areas that the light hit are slightly darker then the areas that were covered by the black of the positive. This isn't yet a stencil though as there aren't any holes in the emulsion were ink can get through. To make it a stencil, you'll have to wash out your screen. The video below explains the process. Just be careful! If you wash too much you can put more holes in the stencil or even wash away the areas that you don't want to remove! Here's the handout too!
