Jade Sweeting will be bringing pre made stencils to the workshops with a mixture of text
and image that can be printed onto fabric, t-shirts, totes or paper. Jade will guide you
through the process of screen printing from preparing the screen to printing and finally
drying the artwork which you can then take away with you.
Saturday 20th August 1pm-4pm

can use existing fabrics to layer up and print with onto paper, fabric, t shirts and totes.
If you’ve only got an hour, you can pop in and try out just one of the things but If you have
the whole afternoon, you could try out all of these methods and create your own super
layered wearable or displayable piece!
