Explore: Screen printing on paper and fabric – develop personal outcomes

About this course

Participants develop a small series or print project by experimenting with layers, colour, composition and mixed media. Screen printing can be combined with drawing, collage and painting, using personal imagery or ideas developed in the studio. The course emphasises testing and revision, helping learners edit and refine prints into more considered outcomes. Work is developed through individual decision-making rather than by producing large quantities of finished pieces. Learners who have studied introductory printmaking may also continue using press techniques such as monoprint, linocut or drypoint.
