Explore: screen printing – develop your ideas

About this course

Participants create one- and two-colour screen prints and investigate mono-screen printing alongside monotype, intaglio and relief processes. Work may begin with drawing, photography or other simple visual sources, then develop through mark making, repetition, layering and variation. Techniques include Drawing Fluid, Wax Stencil Card, Oil Pastel and Photo Stencil. The course combines studio exploration with sketchbook work and discussion, giving participants opportunities to test and reflect on how images change across different processes.
