Drawing Into Print: An Introduction to Screen Printing
Sunday 19th July
10am–4pm
16+
£90

Join artist and printmaker Shaun James from Shaun James for a relaxed, hands-on
introduction to screen printing.

In this one-day workshop, you will learn how to turn your own drawings and hand-made marks
into a one-colour screen print using mark-resist film, a specialist transparent drawing surface that
captures beautiful lines, textures, washes and painterly marks.

Shaun will guide you through the process step by step, from making your artwork, to exposing it
onto a screen, to printing your own small edition on paper. You will be introduced to a range of
drawing and mark-making techniques, then given time to create your own image before printing it
yourself.

No previous screen-printing experience is needed. All materials are provided. You just need to be
happy to experiment, make marks, get a bit inky and try something new.

You will print and take home 5 copies of your own one-colour screen print.
