An introduction to screen printing onto paper using photo emulsion, led by printmaker and designer Laura Knight.
You will learn the foundational skills to produce your own photo stencil screen print from start to finish, from the initial coating and exposure of screens, through to the exciting reveal of your first print!
This course is suitable for beginners who would like to try out this process, or for those with experience looking to refresh their skills or branch out into a new form of printmaking. It is also perfect for printmakers who would like to become a member of Carousel Print Studio and use the screen printing facilities during open access sessions.
You will be taken step by step through coating a screen, exposing an image with the exposure unit, developing it in the washout room and then registering and printing the image onto paper, creating your own prints to take home.
