Monotype Screenprint Workshop 13 Nov

Service Description

This one is for the painters out there. Have fun painting images onto the open mesh of a screen, then squeegeeing your painting through the mesh onto paper to create unique prints. No screenprinting experience necessary. The tutor’s aim is to show you a way of quickly experimenting with an image in an approach that utilises the qualities of the screenprinting process as well as hand drawn or painterly marks. The squeegee becomes a drawing tool, not just a printing tool. The image created in unpredictable and non-repeatable. It is created through guesses and chance. You will need to be comfortable enough with your painting skills to quickly paint an image freehand onto a screen in about 15 mins so that the paint does not dry before you squeegee it through the mesh of the screen. Yes, you push your painting through the screen! Prints will be on A3 size paper. All materials are supplied. Bookings Essential.
