Come and learn how to silk screen print! In this one-day workshop you will learn how to make a paper cut stencil for screen printing. There will be opportunity to work with some existing designs before progressing on to making a two or even three colour print.

In the morning you will be making some screen prints on paper using existing designs to cut as stencils. Once you have built up a bit of confidence, we will then start moving on to 2 and 3 colour prints. In the afternoon I will help you develop your own ideas for a print – source materials to develop your design will be provided but feel free to bring your own images to work from. The majority of prints will be printed on paper; however, you will also be able to print your design onto a tea towel or a fabric tote bag towards the end of the day.

We will be using water based acrylic printing ink as well as craft knives to cut the stencils. There will be a number of silk screens with different colours to work on through the day. Wearing old clothes is advisable or bring an apron.

We will have a short break for lunch of around about 30 mins – please bring a packed lunch with you. If you need to cancel I will need two weeks prior to the workshop happening for a full refund.
