Join Sophie Darling for a festive introduction to textile screen printing where you’ll have the opportunity to create a special one of a kind hand printed gift for a loved one. Bring and print a t-shirt, pillow case, fabric for framing or even a stocking. We’ll bring the Christmas tunes, mince pies and metallic screen printing inks to add festive cheer to your print creations.
Please note: it is not necessary for you to print someone a gift to attend the workshop
This beginner-friendly workshop will guide you through the fundamentals of screen printing using paper stencils, helping you design and print your own unique creations.
What to Expect
By the end of the session, you’ll have created a two-color screen print using your own hand-cut stencil design. Sophie will walk you through the process with live demonstrations and inspiration from her personal archive. You'll leave with a beautiful, layered textile print on your item of choice ready to be gifted or a fabric print ready to be transformed into a finished piece.
