Screenprint is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink blocking stencil. The attached stencils forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp edged image onto a substrate (i.e. base material e.g. paper, fabric etc.) A squeegee is moved across the screen stencil forcing ink through the open areas of the mesh and onto your material.

Students must complete an induction in the relevant print technique before using any equipment in this workshop. If you have any questions regarding the use of the facilities or inductions, or regarding any printmaking matters please contact me via email .
