Loco for Gocco!

It's been a while since our last post... but believe us, we've been busy! After months of playing around with our new Gocco, yesterday marked our first official project. For those who don't know what Gocco is, it's basically a way to silkscreen, all contained in a little machine. Check out our step by step from beginning to end!

Ellen is creating the screen. Two toxic (seriously!) lightbulbs go off and your screen is burned from a printout of your work.

The screen after it has been burned (the printout is still attached to the screen).

Using weird foamy strips, you can divide your screen for multiple colors.
On this pass we used two: red and gold.

Then you apply the ink.

We used two screens for this project, one for the top, and a second for the bottom. Here, the top portion is drying before we ink the bottom.

The finished product!

We are very excited with how this turned out, and can't wait for more projects to use with Gocco.
Insider info: We're currently working on custom wedding invites!
Cheers!
