Recently, I held a class on silk screening polymer clay. We used Lumiere acrylic paints and small silk screens on raw polymer. Most of the students chose to make Skinner blends of two or three colors with their polymer before laying down the silk screen and applying the paint. The results were simply lovely, and quite varied. Since I had the materials gathered, I made a few more sheets at home. Here are some of the pieces I made from the silk screening. I covered the pieces with Magic Gloss to help protect the paint. Although the paint bakes into the polymer, and I have left silk screened pieces with a matte look, I do like the extra depth the Magic Gloss and other resins add to the polymer pieces.
