Explore: screen printing on paper and fabric – develop processes

About this course

Participants investigate screen printing on paper and fabric through a range of stencil processes. The course covers one- and two-colour printing, showing how images can be developed through layering, repetition and variation. Work centres on mark making, material testing and adjusting prints in response to results. Participants revisit their ideas over time, use sketchbooks, and discuss their work alongside references to artists and creative practice.
