Description

Are you new to printing, looking for a refresher, or interested in learning new screenprinting methods?

In this two-day workshop, you will gain hands-on experience as you are introduced to the basic fundamentals of screen printing. This includes how to:

• Make art for screenprinting
• Coat and expose screens with art
• Set up a multicolour job
• Print onto paper and textiles using water-based inks

This course is all about hands-on learning and creating.

The studio is home to a wide range of manual and automatic equipment and provides a great opportunity to learn on different presses. With up-to-date techniques, this course aims to make you more efficient and give you better printing results.

No experience necessary!

What to expect:

Day One

• Pull your first print; see the relationships between the various elements of the screen printing process and how they all work together.

Day Two
