Screenprinting Advanced Evening Course
Thursday evenings from 22 Oct - 26 Nov | 6-9pm
Taking place over a series of 6 consecutive Thursday evenings, advance your screen printing skills!
This 6-week evening workshop is for printmakers with experience who want to develop their printmaking skills, helping you take your artwork to the next level. This series of evening classes will give participants time to delve into various ways of creating artwork, problem solving, prepping screens and printing to a high level.
This evening course will give participants the time to think, re-think, create and re-create artwork between each class, helping them delve into various aspects of their print practice. To print, the screen is attached to a printing press and acrylic based ink is pushed through the screen mesh onto paper using a squeegee blade. Each layer of colour is printed individually, taking care to register each new ink layer on top of the previous.
The process is explored through hands-on practice where participants learn practical skills involved in making a screenprint. The paper included in the course can accommodate an image size of approximately 21 x 30cm, but as it is an advanced course, participants will have some more freedom to explore and develop their own projects
A 15% Early Bird Discount is available for bookings made 1 month prior to the start date!
Completion of this course also entitles you to a FREE 3-month Associate Membership to use the studio and consolidate your skills.
