This fast paced hands-on workshop takes you through the full screen-printing process. From degreasing, coating a screen with emulsion, to exposing your image from an acetate and pulling your first prints. Create single colour prints and see why it has been a long standing favourited process by artists and agitators alike. No experience needed. Come with a willingness to get inky. Leave with a print, practical know how and the itch to do it all over again.
