Gold Foil Screen Printing

Saturday 7th March

10am til 4pm

Tutor: Nick

Address: 10-16 Boyd street, Studio 4, Cobalt Studios, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2 1AP

You will be taught the fundamentals of creating your own shiny matallic foil prints, using any design or artwork of your choice. There will be a choice of a gold, copper and holographic finish. You will be able to create multiples in different colours if you like.

You will learn how to coat and develop a screen that will hold this design, and how to screen print this image by hand onto fabric as well as paper or card.

We will be using adhesive as the base for the print, followed by lamination of the foil using heat pressing techniques. You will then be able to peel the foil away to reveal your finished metallic artwork.

There will be t shirts and paper/card available to print onto, you will also be able to bring other natural fabrics to print on, such as your own choice of t shirt or tote bag that are made using natural fibers, e.g cotton, linen.
