A creative and more technical session delving deeper in to Screen Printing

Come join me at my Nunburnholme printing studio for a more in-depth look at Screen Printing. Learn how to photographically transfer an image on to a screen and print multiple registered colours from your own designs. Unleash your creativity and design and print your very own cards or print through the medium of screen printing with hopefully impressive results!

Whether you're a seasoned designer or just looking to try something new, this event is perfect for all skill levels. A fun opportunity to make personalised stationery or a beautiful print for yourself or loved ones.

Screen printing is the process whereby ink is pushed through a fine silk mesh stretched over a screen. A squeegee is used to push the ink through the 'open' areas of the screen depositing an even layer of ink on to the fabric or paper below. Many colours/layers and multiple copies can be printed.

In this workshop Alison will use her 20 plus years of experience to guide you through creating your own design or pattern, coating and photographically exposing a screen and choosing and mixing your colours. You'll then print your design using a squeegee and screen on to paper and card.

A great workshop for groups of friends. Approx 6 hrs including a light lunch.

The workshop will involve:

· Introduction to screen printing and how it works

· Designing and drawing a pattern/design

· Coating a screen with light sensitive emulsion

· Photographically exposing your own design on to the screen

· Choosing or mixing your colour from my choice of inks

· Screen printing between 10-20 cards or 5-10 prints to take home with you. Envelopes can be chose for your cards from our coloured stock of envelopes

There will be unlimited tea and coffee, a snack and light lunch provided . Please advise of any dietery requirements or allergies upon booking.

All material included and no experience needed.
