Print your own greetings cards. No experience is necessary. Meet new people in a creative setting, learn a new skill and take home something useful made by your very own hands!
Working in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, as a group of three. This fun all day workshop provides a hands on introduction to the silkscreen process.
Your tutor Arthur will work with you to create a limited edition of ten two colour 10cm sq cards from scratch. There is no need to bring anything with you, all materials are provided.
Using a combination of drawing, painting and collage techniques, this is a completely analogue approach (no computers!). Bring something to trace if you want, draw from nature or freestyle it with an abstract composition - anything goes!
In the morning Arthur will demonstrate how to create artwork by hand on two sheets of drawing film. Before lunch we'll expose your films to create the screen. After lunch we'll choose colour, talk paper and your tutor will guide you through the printing process.
This workshop runs from 10.30am to 3pm with half an hour lunch break. There will be tea and biscuits provided, please bring your own lunch.
The studio is located down a pretty lane 8 minutes walk from Corpusty village centre where you will find a shop and pub. The river Bure is a 5 minute walk from our garden, a great spot to take lunch if the weather's nice, if not there's plenty of space in the studio to sit and take break.
We have space for four cars on our driveway.
*Note that the workshop does have steps. Please let me know if you need more information or help with access arrangements and I will do my best to help*
*All workshops are non refundable*
