Description

Designed to cater to all skill-levels from complete beginners to those with some experience. This course happens over 4 evenings each month, giving you the opportunity to engage thoroughly with the methods of screen printing.

You will create a multicolour 4 layer design using handmade stencils and 1 colour digital photograph design, producing multiple prints of each. (No computer skills required!) 

This is the most valuable way for beginners or rusty printmakers to get started, with all materials included and professional support to make the most of the studio time and overcome initial hiccups. Those with some more experience may want to use this as an opportunity to work on a more intricate design, taking advantage of the technician guided support and small group setting.

  2. Week 2: Exposing A3 size artwork and printing.
  3. Week 3: Completing your multi-colour print edition
  4. Week 4: Printing a new A4 photographic image

Basic/Intermediate FAQ

No, this course is suitable for all skill levels.

Yes, all materials are provided. For the fourth session, you'll need to bring your own halftoned photograph for exposure. If you'd prefer us to print it for you, there will be an additional charge.

Various screen printing techniques, stencil creation, and personal project development.

Yes, you will work on your own designs. However, we encourage a flexible approach — focusing too heavily on perfecting a design can create unnecessary pressure, both for you and for the group. Screenprinting is a learning process, and experimenting with different ideas will help you get the most out of the course.

We keep the groups small to ensure personalised attention.

For this course, bring a selection of images that inspire you, along with ideas for a 4-layer print. Think about images with distinct shapes, colours, or textures that will work well in layers. The more varied your reference material, the more creative your final print can be!

Of course! You will receive 50% your induction and become part of our studio :)
