About Thermofax Screens

Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan of Committed to Cloth introduced me to thermofax printing, providing me with a simple and effective way to print personal imagery onto my own hand-dyed fabrics. It worked so well for me that in 2006, I bought one of the new thermal imager machines and launched the Thermofax Screens business making custom screens and offering a small range of ready-made designs.

Since then, Thermofax Screens has grown to include dozens of ready-made screen designs plus a range of textile inks and other related products and  the custom screen service continues to be a large part of the business. As the word has spread, more and more people have discovered how versatile the screens can be. Thermofax Screens is primarily a mail order business but I do attend a few shows including the Festival of Quilts. 

See the Gallery for samples of fabric printed with ready-made thermofax screens. Visit clairehiggott.co.uk for images of my personal textile work, much of which includes custom printing.
