Two people doing screen printing in DCA Print Studio

Introduction to Screen Printing

Duration: One-day workshop
Dates: Sat 23 Aug 2025 10:30 - 17:00
Location: Print Studio

The perfect introduction to the screen printing process. 

Screen printing is one of the most popular printmaking techniques in DCA Print Studio. In this one-day workshop you will learn how to create wonderfully colourful and graphic prints using hand-cut paper stencils. This class will give you the basic skills needed to move onto more advanced screen printing courses. 

The day flashed past and I loved it! All equipment was ready + well organised. I can't recommend it enough.

Excellent course. Lots of information, instruction, demonstrations and also plenty time to try out the process.
