This one day course is split into two mini sessions:

Morning Session: You will spend time drawing from a still life arrangement.

Afternoon Session: After creating your hand-drawn design, you'll expose it onto a screen.  You'll be shown a short demo on screen printing, including some experimental screen techniques to add colour to your prints. You'll finish the workshop by using our screen-beds to print your artwork onto paper.

You'll leave the workshop with a unique, handmade piece of art - perfect for gifting or framing.

Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?

No - drawing for your print is done on the day.
