In this 1-day taster screenprinting workshop at Blueway Art Studio, learn the basics of screen printing in a fun and creative environment that will immerse you in words and images from Ireland’s Ancient East. This workshop is an introduction or taster of the screen printing process using an LED emulsion-coated screen and a photo exposure unit.

Participants will bring a prepared image or they can draw or make an abstract print on the day and we will provide all the materials, tools. This workshop is suitable for beginners and will also cover the processes of printing and editioning your artwork on paper, colour layering and registration and using the paper-cut stencil method to print at home.

Turn your one-colour image into a screen and print an edition of prints on paper or fabric or even t-shirts! A materials fee covers paper, ink, use of a screen, 1 fairtrade bag or T-shirt, and other consumables. This workshop can be tailored for groups to work collaboratively on a single or number of designs.

Visitors will develop a one-colour screen print on a bag or t-shirt. Support the circular economy by bringing your own t-shirts to upcycle, up to a maximum of 4 additional prints. We use organic fairtrade unisex t-shirts & bags. Please add your approx size in notes when booking, such as Size small, medium, large, XL, XXL, XXXL. If you bring your own, just make sure they are light-coloured and all the same colour as it takes time to change the colour of the ink.
