The Art of Screenprinting is a comprehensive course suitable for beginners and intermediate printers alike – on completion you will be a knowledgeable, confident screenprinter.
This course will run Thursday evenings at 5.30pm – 8pm for 4 consecutive weeks, including 27 July, 3 August, 10 August and 17 August.
The course schedule is as follows:
Week 1 (27 July) You will learn the fundamentals of screenprinting and create experimental prints using hand cut paper stencils and monoprint.
Week 2 (3 August) You will learn how to clean a screen and prepare it for printing, as well as coating your screen in UV sensitive emulsion and exposing it to create a permanent stencil for printing. You will then use your exposed screen to create a set of prints.
Week 3 (10 August) This week will teach you all about registration and how to use multiple screens to create multi-layered prints.
Week 4 (17 August) Your final week will teach you how to print onto fabric, utilising all you’ve learnt to understand the subtle changes needed in the screenprinting process to create great fabric prints.
All materials you will use are included in the cost of the course, but you are welcome to bring along your own if you choose. The studios are environmentally friendly where possible and use greener methods of screen printing, such as water-based acrylic inks.
(Attendees must be 18+)
