This workshop will feature inexpensive, DIY screenprint monoprinting techniques. Participants will hand-cut stencils through sheets of vinyl adhesive.

Printing will be performed collectively across rows of paper in successive rounds of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks mixed to various opacities. The resulting compositions will be a collaborative explosion of layered shapes, lines, and colours.

You’ll be printing with Permaset eco-friendly dyes on Japanese Hosho paper from the Awagami Paper Factory.

Don’t miss out – this one will sell out fast! All levels welcome. Age: 16 +

What to bring:
• Apron, or old clothes they don’t mind getting inky.
• Drawings of stencils you’d like to make.
