A two-part screen printing course introducing you to different techniques to produce one-off and repeat prints. Running on two consecutive Fridays on 18th August and 25th August. Total of 10 hours instruction. Includes lunch and refreshments.

Friday 18th August 10:00am - 3:30pm
Week 1 - You will begin the morning session leaning 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 a number of times.

Friday 25th August 10:00am - 3:30pm
Week 2 - Using one or both of the techniques that you have learnt in the first session you will create a final piece. The design, process and item that you are printing onto will be discussed with the tutor in advance of this session.

Suitable for beginners or as a refresher course.
Materials, equipment and a light lunch are supplied. You will have 1m of fabric plus a canvas tote bag to print onto. Students can use these for the duration of the course and also bring their own items to print onto if they wish i.e. t-shirts, cushion covers, pillow cases, table cloths etc.
