Overall, it was not exactly a brilliant day. The night before, we had sat together and figured our signage keeping a hotel in mind. We started out afresh in the morning, all set for screen printing.
Since in the process of screen printing, the art work to be exposed needs to be completely black, we went over our gateway sketches with a rotring pen again. We exposed it for exactly 11 minutes and then ran to the washing area to wash off the emulsion.
After one and a half hours of spraying water (it is sad that so much water gets wasted in screen printing.) we realised that it was not working out. Already one and a half days had gone into it and we did not have time to do it again. We decided, with the help of our textile faculty Meera to hand do it on cloth. That again was a time taking process and despite sitting with it for 3 and a half hours we did not finish.
I came back home to start off with painting the signage. I ruined one and spilled water over the other! Nonetheless, we sat and finished as much as we could. We could not finish all. They have to be carried forward for the next day.
