Kelly Stewart will be returning to SPW to run a 3 day workshop inspired by Swansea Indoor Market.
On Day 1 all artists will meet at Swansea Print Workshop for an introduction before heading across the road to Swansea market for a day of drawing.
This three-day course will offer participants the opportunity to translate their own drawings into a 5 colour print by using a range of materials to draw and paint directly onto film. The hand generated layers will be exposed onto the screen and screenprinted layer by layer. Kelly will guide you through the process of building up layers of opaque and transparent layers to create the image.
The drawings will be transferred into the screenprint process to create a 5 colour screenprint with an emphasis on typography using traditional type generated from a typewriter and Letraset.
Screen printing is a very versatile printmaking technique, creating simple or complex imagery by producing a series of colour separations which are then individually screen printed onto paper. Edinburgh based illustrator and printmaker Kelly Stewart creates her original screenprints by drawing and preparing every layer by hand, resulting in endless possibilities for combining drawings, painterly marks, collage material, pattern, handwritten text and found graphic patterns together in the one image. The water based tusche washes and acrylic brushstrokes create lithographic-like line qualities which are then translated directly into the screen print process.
Printmaking knowledge is not necessary. If you are an artist working in a different medium or would like to get back into some hand generated work then this is a great opportunity for you.
The workshops will be held at Swansea Print Workshop.
