The Rundown:
During this one-day introductory course participants will learn the key principles of the screenprint process and be guided through the production of their very own printed artwork.

The day begins with a short intro to the history of the screenprint process. We will delve into our own printed catalogue and our library of books to demystify the techniques and teach the foundations of this ancient printing method.

Next participants will be guided through the artworking process. Working with paper cutouts, analogue mark-making and digital techniques to produce a personal artwork ready for printing.

After lunch participants will be introduced to screen imaging and print preparation. Attendees will discover how to prep, coat, expose and washout their screen as well as how to prep and adjust the printing press and mix ink ready for production.

Finally attendees will pull their very own edition of prints before doing any trimming, signing and finishing of their edition ready to take home ready to take home.

Workshops are run out of our dedicated screenprinting studio in the heart of Dartington, nr. Totnes. The spacious workspace houses specialist equipment including 3x vacuum tables for printing papers, a 4-colour carousel for printing garments and a 5-meter yardage table for fabric lengths. Our separate screen-room houses our large-format UV exposure unit and washout facilities.

Health & Safety:
We print using water-based inks so attendees will not come into contact with any harmful nasties. By nature screenprinting can get messy so we advice attendees wear clothes they're not too precious over. The workshops are active and physical, be prepared to be busy! We are located on the groundfloor, as are our toilets. Wheelchair access is not a problem*.

*wheelchair access to the print studios and standard toilets only, we regret there are no disabled toilets on-site.
