Beginners Textile Printing Workshop (May)

What will happen during the workshop?
You will be introduced to the basic techniques of textile screen printing, using blank screens and paper stencils to create prints. You will have the chance to experiment and create a range of samples, focusing on colour, shape and texture. You will then move on to print a personalised tote bag.

I have never done screen printing before, can I come?
Of course - the workshop is suitable for all skills levels. Everyone is welcome and no previous experience is necessary.

Equipment Provided:
Equipment and materials such as screens, squeegees, a range of ink colours, newsprint paper, cutting mats and knives are all included. We will also provide fabric samples and a tote bag, however you are welcome to bring any additional fabric for printing along with you - natural fabrics such as a plain cotton or linen give the best results. Likewise if you have a garment which you would like to print your design onto, you are welcome to bring that along too!

Your Tutor:
Rachel is a printed textile designer and graduate of Glasgow School of Art’s BA (Hons) Textile Design. She is an experienced art workshop host and joined Print Clan as Studio Graduate in April 2023 through GCAS scheme.

This course is open to all abilities - no prior experience of screen printing is needed.
