Description

This is a relaxed, friendly, supportive, experimental and fun experience where you will learn a new (or revive a previous) skill and take home something you feel proud enough to frame!

The day: • Start 09.45 for 10.00am start • 13.00 Lunch • 16.00 Finish We will get straight into experimenting with some simple silkscreen techniques and paper stencils to get used to handling the materials and equipment.

You will have an opportunity to prepare and experiment with a range of techniques and layering processes, all of which you can carry on with at home with the minimum of equipment.

Maker


I aim to provide relaxed, friendly and fun workshops combining my experience from fashion/textiles printing and many years teaching GCSE and A level students in their Fine Art and Textile studies. It's all about exploring possibilities with colour, shape, layers, pattern and textures - which I love to do within my own work, creating a range of prints and collages on paper, fabric and cards.
