The first thing we suggest when you get to the studio is grabbing a cup of tea and having a look around! Once all the guests arrive the workshop starts off with a brief introduction to screen printing and the Print Club London studio. Then we spend some time looking at your artwork and planning how to print. Everyone will be at varying levels so we allow plenty of time for this. You will individually coat your own screens in preparation for use later in the day to print your own edition of prints. Each guest will leave with their own set of handmade artworks. The key focus of the day is to really enjoy the process, no pressure to produce the next Warhol, and have a great day!
Our tutors will talk you through some different processes that will help you turn your own image into a usable Positive ready to expose on your screen. Don’t worry if you aren’t too familiar with Photoshop or using a computer, the technicians will do this part for you and ensure everyone is assisted. You dont need to have any knowledge of this part! It’s not essential. Lots of artists hand draw positives so we can guide you through the best format for your work.
Here is where you will take your Positive and expose it onto your coated screen to make the stencil you will be printing with in the afternoon. You will be making a 1 colour print and therefore expose one image. This bit sounds technical but it’s actually easy and you get to use our big exposure unit, shes pretty special.
Once all preparation has been done it’s time to print! This is the fun part! We get inky and make your artwork! Our tutors will guide each of you through printing your own work. It’s a real group effort and everyone supports each other on the day. You will make lots of new printing friends and meet some of our resident artists. Each guest will print an edition of 6-10 prints of their own design, ready to take home and frame! The perfect addition to your home or as a gift to someone else.
Bring your own design! It can be a photograph, something you have drawn, doodled or illustrated. Or an image you’ve found if it’s copyright free.
They must be A4 black and white designs, please bring them along on a USB stick saved in .JPEG/.PDF/.PSD file format. 300 dpi.
On the day of your workshop, you will be able to choose from many different coloured inks and will print on our workshop paper provided by GF Smith.
If you have any questions give us a call and we can help you. And dont panic! All images will work pretty much:)
