LEARN THE ART OF SCREEN PRINTING ONTO FABRIC WITH JOANNA SLOAN Drawing on inspiration from The Old Rectory garden I will teach you how to create a one colour screen-print using the paper cut stencil method. This is a very open, low-tech approach but with strong designer possibilities. No chemicals, no photo emulsion but plenty of thought with an emphasis on bold and elemental design. Participants will learn the principals of screen printing through demonstration and a hands-on experience of pulling their own designed print. You will leave with knowledge, a hands on experience and your own printed work onto fabric. The fee for this workshop includes 2 x 60cm square panels of Irish linen OR 2 cotton tea towels and 1 tote bag, use of all studio materials, inks and light refreshments. This workshop is aimed at all levels and abilities. If you are interested in organising a 'party of friends' be-spoke workshop please let me know. I would be delighted to try and accommodate you for this. It could be a screen-printing workshop for paper, t-shirts or greeting cards! Max 5 participants. The studio is set in the courtyard of The Old Rectory. I would be delighted if you also enjoyed my garden whilst you're on the workshop. If you are interested in booking accommodation for this workshop please contact me [email protected] Hygiene The studio is a large high-ceilinged space with plenty of natural air ventilation. Maximum number of students will be 6 on any given course. What other people think.
