Process video: Hand-printing my Owl pattern fabric

This is where the magic happens! Handmade business is generally a lot more WORK than I ever imagined, haha! But it’s worth it for these moments when it’s just the pure tactile joy and satisfaction of *making* something.


Here's a video of the printing process, you can see me working on my-printed owl fabric. This is some American-grown organic cotton from Alabama Chanin, hand-silkscreened in Maine by me! using non-toxic, water-based inks.

This owl fabric turned into one of my new super-soft and comfy infinity scarves - https://www.morrisessex.com/collections/hand-printed-scarves/products/hand-printed-infinity-scarf-errol-scarf-handmade-in-maine!

Big news - a new studio in the works!!

new print tables at the new studio

Morris & Essex is growing up and moving out of mom's house! With a growing business and a new baby on the way, I'm moving my silkscreen studio out of the house and into a new space. It's a great big space in the beautiful town of Cornish, Maine, just a few minutes away from home. Rumor has it that this building used to be the exhibit hall for the nearby fairgrounds. It's a gorgeous, antique building with tons of history, updated with solar panels and now with a beautiful big silkscreen studio coming together on the bottom floor. 

This weekend we finished building a printing table 20 FEET LONG(!) at the new studio. We have sinks, we have tables, we have shelves. Next, to build a bolt holder for all my fabric, and then a darkroom... So excited for this new chapter and for sharing a space with fellow screenprinter Ms. Sabrina of Think Greene. Onwards and upwards!
