Screenprinting Taster Session (PM) with Arthur Buxton

Description

No prior knowledge required. Meet new people in a creative setting, learn a new skill and take home something useful made by your very own hands! This fun half day workshop provides a hands on introduction to the silkscreen process. Your tutor Arthur will work with you to create a pack of greetings cards. In a relaxed and informal atmosphere, as a group of three we will work collaboratively mixing ink to print charming vintage illustrations chosen from my ready made screens, then adding colour highlights using water colour paint washes. This session provides great practice of the mechanics of screen printing. You will finish the day with your very own pack of five greetings cards. This will also provide a good basis for continuing your screenprinting journey at further sessions. This workshop runs from 10am - 12.30pm. There will be tea and biscuits provided. The studio is located down a pretty lane 8 minutes walk from Corpusty village centre where you will find a shop and pub. The river Bure is a 5 minute walk from our garden, a great spot to take lunch if the weather's nice, if not there's plenty of space in the studio to sit and take break. We have space for four cars on our driveway. * Note that the workshop does have steps. Please let me know if you need more information or help with access arrangements and I will do my best to help. * * All workshops are non refundable. *

"It was a great afternoon, thank you!" Studio All Day Long is a screenprinting studio with accommodation offering workshops and artist residencies in the beautiful North Norfolk countryside. Owner Arthur is an artist and master printmaker with 15 years teaching experience as a Senior Technical Instructor at The University of the West of England, Bristol. While in Bristol Arthur set up and managed a studio for former Banksy manager Steve Lazarides (and survived to tell the tale!) Arthur has printed for artists Jonathan Yeo, Tishk Barzanji, Jamie Hewlett, Charming Baker and Sir Peter Blake amoungst many others. What is screenprinting? Simply put, screenprinting is the process of using a squeegie to push ink through a mesh stencil onto a surface. It's a deeply satisfying process that anyone can enjoy. Screenprinting is a quick and simple way of making a number of copies from an image. This is known as an edition or multiple. The workshops at Studio All Day Long cater for all levels. No experience or prior knowledge of the process is needed. Arthur has printed with artists as young as seven. If you can hold a squeegee, you can print!
