A printmaking workshop where you will be introduced to the printmaking technique of screen print using a manual method. Screen print is a stencil technique where you design and draw an image and print it on a flat surface, once you have transferred your stencil design onto the screen: your “stencil”/image is printed as you flood a water based colour ink through the fine mesh that is stretched on a metal frame using a squeegee, and some pressure. Facilitated through practical demonstration, you will be required to prepare a design (as simple a design as you feel comfortable with) or an image reference beforehand, ready for the workshop that you would like to screen print, and produce a one or two colour hand-pulled screen print of your design on paper by the end of the workshop.
