Screen printing – workshop
Designed for practising artists, makers and returning learners, this studio-based screen printing course provides the time, space and facilities to develop personal projects, refresh technical skills and sustain an active creative practice.
Learners will have access to specialist equipment and workshop resources, enabling them to experiment, refine techniques and progress individual work in a supportive and collaborative studio environment. Returning learners are encouraged to bring their own projects and ideas, allowing them to work at a pace that suits their individual goals and interests.
The course is primarily studio-based, offering the opportunity to focus on personal creative practice while benefiting from the tutor’s technical expertise, constructive feedback and troubleshooting where required. Learners can explore new approaches, resolve practical challenges and enhance their screen printing knowledge while working independently.
The course also encourages consideration of professional and enterprising opportunities, including portfolio development, exhibitions, commissions and creative product development. Through independent exploration and peer exchange, learners will build confidence, maintain momentum in their practice and produce high-quality outcomes that reflect their individual creative ambitions.
