Emerging Personal and Professional Practice: screen printing on paper and fabric

About this course

Participants develop a small, coherent body of screen-printed work, selecting and combining layered processes such as Drawing Fluid, Photo Stencil, Wax Stencil and Oil Pastel methods. The course focuses on refining technique, editing experiments and making considered decisions about colour, composition and process. Learners work with increasing independence while discussing how their prints communicate and how they relate to contemporary printmaking and creative industries. Progress is reviewed through discussion and critique, with attention to presenting finished work clearly for display, portfolio or further progression.
