Introduction to Silk Screen Printing on Fabric
We will get straight into experimenting with some simple silkscreen techniques and paper stencils to get used to handling the materials and equipment. Then you will be ready to prepare your own images to print onto either paper or fabric (or both!).
You will have an opportunity to prepare and experiment with a range of techniques and layering processes. We will print a meter of cotton fabric which you could take home for further craft projects such as a bag or cushion.
As well as being part of a group you will also receive lots of one to one tuition to help you achieve the best outcome.
