Workshops

Screen Printed Textiles

screen printing

Make your mark with designs you print yourself! In this 3.5 hour beginner’s workshop, you’ll draw your own designs, transform your images into paper stencils, prep and ink the screens, then print onto fabric! You’ll learn techniques that you can easily replicate in a home studio.

All materials provided, including a wide selection of ink colours, use of all specialist tools, plus your choice of two items to print on – tea towel, mini tote bag, large tote bag. No previous drawing or screen printing experience necessary.

Additional bags and tea towels will be available for purchase (£2-£3 per item) or feel free to bring a few of your own items, such as T-shirts (with light backgrounds, please) that you’d like to print!

Level: New to screen printing
Course length: One 3.5-hour session

Materials needed

Please bring the following supplies to class in order to complete your project:

Printouts of images or drawings that you might like to work with in class. No photographs or very detailed images, please. Keep your shapes simple as you’ll be cutting them out using a craft knife to make your stencils. We’ll also have plenty of inspiration on hand and will help you transform your ideas into something suitable for printing!

We’ll provide two items to print with in class (choose from tea towels and mini and large tote bags); additional bags and tea towels will be available for purchase (£2-£3 per item). Please also feel free to bring a few of your own items, such as T-shirts (with light backgrounds, please) that you’d like to print!

Finally, screen printing can be MESSY and the textile inks may stain your clothing. Although aprons will be provided, please don’t wear your best gear to class – that goes for your shoes, too. :)
