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 can be printed and multiple copies can be printed.In this workshop Alison will use her 20 plus years of screen printing and pattern designing experience to guide you through creating your own design, cutting the design out of stencil paper, choosing and mixing your colour/s and then printing your design using a squeegee and screen on to fabric.This special edition of the workshop will have a slightly festive theme but this can be taken literally or very loosely interpreted in an abstract way - it's up to you! You can even go completely off-piste and non-festive!A great workshop for groups of friends to catch up and get creative.Approx 4 hrs.
