February Half Term – 2 Days: Screenprinting Workshop (Beginners)

Screenprinting is a method of making an image using stencils and the process is intrinsic to graphics, advertising and packaging.

What The Course is About:

For beginners and a refresher for those with previous experience of screen printing, the course aims to cover the core principles of screen printing for beginners and provide those familiar with the practice an opportunity to have 2 full days of printing to consolidate a project or work on something new. For those new to screen printing - please bring an image with you that you would turn into a screen print. This could simply be something from your sketch book, a drawing or painting that you have made in another class or a photograph that you have taken.

Materials Required:

What to bring to the first session: The cost of workshop-based materials such as inks, newsprint, chemicals and equipment maintenance are included in the fees. Your main additional expense will be papers and tapes and it is common for students to build their own set of basic art equipment (such as brushes, pencils and knives), although these are available in the workshop.

Previous Experience:

Beginners

End of course:

What will I achieve? Having attained a level of technical skill, you will start learning through personal projects. Screenprinting takes place in a communal workshop and as such, there is a lively and open forum for ideas and discussion.
