Introduction to Screen Printing

Duration: One-day workshop
Dates: Sat 18 Jan 2025 10:30 - 17:00
Location: Print Studio

The perfect introduction to the screen printing process. 

Screen printing is one of the most popular printmaking techniques in DCA Print Studio. In this one-day workshop you will learn how to create wonderfully colourful and graphic prints using hand-cut paper stencils. This class will give you the basic skills needed to move onto more advanced screen printing courses. 

Really enjoyable course. Marianne was so calm, patient and helpful throughout. Clear instructions and demonstrations to guide the process. Feeling inspired to use my unopened screen at home and return to the studio. Thank you.

Excellent course. Lots of information, instruction and demonstrations and also plenty time to try out the process. Excellent tutor. Would really like to do a further course.
