Screenprinting for Beginners
Our next intake is opening soon. Interested in this course? Join the waitlist today and be among the first to hear when applications and enrolments open.
Screen printing is a fantastic way to create multiple copies of a design of your choice onto either paper, T-shirts or fabric.
In this course you will learn how to photographically expose a silk screen using your own art work or images and print on paper or textiles, T-shirts and cushion covers.
The course will start with a 1-2 hour introduction online or in person, to support you to create a film positive (drawing or printing on acetate). This will then be photographically exposed using sunlight onto a silk screen. Once you have your screen, you will learn how to print on a variety of mediums, including paper, fabric or whatever you choose over a 2 day course.
The course will also cover sourcing and purchasing your own screens and tools, advice on setting up a basic home studio or darkroom so you can continue printing at home beyond the workshop. There will also be an option to purchase your own silk screen so you can take away your exposed screen at the end of the course.
Optional extra: purchase your own 60cm X 70 cm cedar screen to take home- $45
