Learn the exciting art of screenprinting and how to turn photos, texts and illustrations into beautiful hand-crafted prints.

This introductory workshop introduces you to the principles of screenprinting, including preparing stencils, transferring images onto acetate, coating and exposing screens, printing on fine art paper and registration techniques.

Spend two full days in the NAS printmaking studios with artist Janet Parker-Smith, who gives demonstrations and expert guidance in basic screenprinting methodologies.
