Screen Printing for Beginners
A one-day introductory weekend workshop
Held at Creative Arts Napier - Workshop space
To be confirmed
Join Lisa in the relaxed atmosphere of Creative Arts Napier and learn a new skill to take away and print to your heart's content.
You’ll be guided through the whole process of stencil making and screen printing on paper and fabric, helping you to achieve great results. You’ll have a printed tote bag and some lovely printed goodies to take home at the end of the day, plus the knowledge/skills you need to keep going with your new hobby.
You may like to bring a few light-coloured, plain cotton items to print on, such as pillow slips, T-shirts, or tea towels. Heavy weight paper is also a good idea, if making prints to frame interests you.
