** The first course during July is split over two weekends 22nd, 23rd & 29th & 30th.

** The second course is four contecutive days on the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd of August.

This 4-day workshop will give you the opportunity to expand on the skills you will acquire by developing your prints for more time with the guidance of Screen Print Technican James Harrison, or taking what you have learned and creating a new multi-layered print from the beginning. After 4 days you will be comfortable and very familiar with the screen printing process, and have had time to experiment with different inks, layering approaches and exposure techniques.

Participants can produce a wide range of detailed marks such as painterly washes, linear drawings, stencil-cutouts, photocopied images, text and much more. Participants will learn the intiricacies of the screen print process, how to coat and expose screens and how to print several coloured layers onto onto fine art paper..

This course uses waterbased inks on paper which are not suitable for printing on textiles. During the course, each participant will work on their own print, developing it from idea to final printed work. Paper size will be approximately A3 with the printed area being around A4.
