Screen Printing Workshop

Sketchy Beats is a not-for-profit arts space on Great Junction Street, Leith. It's an open platform for creatives of any kind to use and share their ideas with the public. The space is designed to be affordable and accessible to everyone - people who have never organised events before, musicians who have never played outside their own bedroom, artists who have never exhibited before. It aims to be a place where creativity brings the community together, without money being an obstacle.Everything in the space is donation-based. If you want a cup of tea or coffee, you can help yourself and leave a small donation. If you want to bring your own alcohol, just leave a donation for corkage. If you want to organise your own event, it's free to book, we just ask for a donation from each person who comes in. If you are interested in booking the space for your own event, workshop, meet-up or rehearsal, send us a message!You can also book online through our website: https://sites.google.com/view/sketchy-beats/home

Art Classes

Our programme of community art classes - all abilities welcome!

Join me for a hands-on Screen Printing Workshop, where you'll learn how to transform textiles using pre-made designs and/or your own custom paper stencil! This method explores positive and negative space, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind print.Create a unique print while learning the basics of stencil making, printing, and heat-setting to make your design washproof. What to expect<ul><li>Simple stencil-making demo</li><li>Quick drawing exercises to develop your design</li><li>1:1 guided printing (each person prints one design)</li><li>No experience needed, just bring creativity!</li></ul> What to bring<ul><li>Light-coloured fabric item (we use black ink)</li><li>Flat items work best: T-shirts, tote bags, pillowcases, tea towels, fabric pieces</li></ul>(avoid seams/pockets)Cotton or polycotton only (no lycra or polyester)Bring your own garment, let’s upcycle! Tip:Printing is done 1:1, with around 10 minutes per person.If you can, think about your design in advance, text, shape, drawing, or graphic. Youcan bring it printed on paper to save time when making your stencil.
