SCREEN PRINT

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and experienced printers. Printers will draw and create hand-cut paper stencils for screen printing onto textile surfaces. You will have the opportunity to print onto a range of heavy and lightweight materials, layering colours and designs. In this hands-on, practical workshop, you will also explore how to prepare your workspace for printing and mixing your own print pastes using water-based inks and binders. By the end of the session, you will have a collection of A5–A3 samples for your portfolio, sketchbook, or mood-boards and a final piece. The workshop is designed to build confidence in drawing and printing, while encouraging mixed-media creativity within design. You will gain a deeper understanding of the processes, equipment, and materials needed to continue printing independently at home. All materials will be provided in this workshop, and participants are encouraged to explore any materials they may have at home or sourced from a charity shop for printing during the session.

• Draw and mark-make
