Taking place from 26-29 July, this 4-day expanded practice summer course will give you the opportunity to develop your prints over more time with the guidance of Screenprint Technician James Harrison, or taking what you have learned and creating a new multi-layered print from the beginning. After 4 days, you will be comfortable and very familiar with the screenprinting process, and will have had time to experiment with different inks, layering approaches, and exposure techniques. Participants can produce a wide range of detailed marks such as painterly washes, linear drawings, stencil cutouts, photocopied images, text, and much more. Participants will learn the intricacies of the screenprint process, how to coat and expose screens, and how to print several coloured layers onto onto fine art paper.
