A one-day screen printing workshop in Kent introducing you to different techniques to produce one-off and repeat prints.

You will begin the morning session learning about the basic principles of screen printing by experimenting with paper cut stencils which produce bold and effective prints. Then in the afternoon you will move onto setting up a screen using a blocking fluid that produces a more detailed print that can be reproduced multiple times. This requires painting the image onto the screen so keep that in mind when coming up with your design.

You will have 1m of plain fabric plus a canvas tote bag to print onto. You can also bring your own items to print onto such as t-shirts, cushion covers, pillow cases, tablecloths, etc. Please make sure that they are made from a natural fabric and are white or light coloured.

What to bring:

* Designs or ideas for designs. These can be print outs, sketches, photos, images from magazines etc. Please note the maximum size of the design should be no bigger than 30cm x 30cm

* An apron or painting shirt

* Packed lunch or food can be purchased from the award winning Nucleus Café which is downstairs
