Silkscreen Printing with Berkshire Printmakers: Sunday 15 September, 10-4pm
When? Sunday 15 September from 10-4pm, with a coffee and lunch break
What? This is a fun, creative workshop, during which you will have plenty of time to try out the technique under the guidance of two expert printmakers. The workshop will take you step by step through; how to get to grips with a squeegee and to create a print using paper stencils and water-based inks. You will explore how to combine the paper stencils with Berkshire Printmakers large library of patterned screens to make complex multilayered prints. You will also learn the difference between optical and physical colour mixing with translucent colours and apply them to your printmaking.
