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 can be printed and multiple copies can be printed.
In this introductory workshop Alison will use her 20 plus years of experience to guide you through creating your own design or pattern, cutting the design out of a paper stencil, choose and mix your colour and then print your design using a squeegee and screen on to fabric.
The workshop will involve:
· Introduction to screen printing and how the process works
· Designing and drawing a pattern
· Cutting the design out of Yupo stencil paper
· Choosing or mixing your colour from my choice of inks
· Screen printing on to either a t shirt, tea towel or tote bag to take away
There will be unlimited tea and coffee and a snack provided . Please advise of any dietery requirements or allergies upon booking.
All material included and no experience needed.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn a new skill and have a great time with fellow design and print enthusiasts.
