Friday was my last day at Paper Boat Studios. For a little extra fun, Amy showed me how to use a Gocco! The Gocco is a tiny screenprinting system developed in Japan in 1977. You place an image and a screen inside of a little box and then fit a hood with two bulbs into the top of the box. When you press down on the lid, the bulbs flash and shatter, exposing your image onto the screen inside. Because the bulbs shatter, they can only be used once.
I drew a picture of some lilac seed pods for my screen. I'm going to try to search for my own Gocco this week. It's super cute and really accessible. In other news, prep week for art camp starts tomorrow! So now you can look forward to pictures of ridiculously cute and insanely funny projects by five year olds. Get pumped.
