The Versatile Silkscreen | Term Two, 2024

Explore the versatility of low-tech screen printing. We are keeping things simple, using only an open screen, hand cut stencils and attentive ink mixing to achieve a new understanding of how to work with colour and transparency/opacity and layering to achieve exciting results when screen printing on paper and fabric.
While the methods we are employing are basic, this workshop may appeal to people interested in slowing down their process to develop a practical understanding of how they want to work with inks, layering and the silk screen.
We will be working between A4-A3.
Suitable for all learner levels.
