This course requires a minimum of 4 participants to proceed.

Learn the basics of screen printing onto paper using a 2 layered process. In this class you will learn how to coat screens with emulsion, then transfer your image onto a screen using a light exposure unit. This will be followed by the exciting process of printing the exposed image onto a background colour. Participants will take home an A4 paper image ready for framing. The class is suitable for beginners.

Materials
All class materials will be supplied.

Students will need to bring lunch. Tea & coffee provided. Wear covered shoes, bring an apron and be prepared to enjoy a creative weekend.
