A great space for screen printing, workshops. Full of knowledgeable and friendly people. Can’t wait to come back!

Had a blast at the one day beginner's workshop! The course leaders were extremely competent and eager to answer any questions in depth. They had already printed our designs on clear plastic sheets for us. After introductions, they explained the basic techniques and then we were taught in groups how to prepare the screens. There were a lot of colour choices for the inks. We were allowed to use several colours for an experimental look. The demonstrations were easy to follow and the printing itself so much fun. Great vibe, nice airy space, would definitely come again!

Barbara I had a most enjoyable day attending this course. The small number of participants meant that we had lots of personal help in mastering the techniques, and it was very hands on. It was also a working environment where we could observe more experienced artists working on their own projects. The tutor was well informed and a good teacher, we all felt very relaxed and we were encouraged to ask questions.

Great day at 3rd Rail Print Space for the beginners paper screen printing workshop. As a complete beginner even I managed to leave with some real quality prints! Lou and Risa were great all day. The small workshop size was great too as there was time to talk about the process and ask lots of questions.
Anna Stubberfield - 9 April 2022
It was a nice day, I enjoyed it a lot however I don’t think it was value for money and would have been nice to printed more prints and been able to mix Color’s aka do a tie dye print and exsperiment more. But for a beginner course I think it was good. Would have been better if the tutors taught us more physically when it came to putting emulsion on to the screen.

Really enjoyed the workshop, our instructors were patient and knowledgable, I was also happy to walk away with something tangible (10 prints!). One thing I'd improve would be the advice given before the workshop to printing novices (like me!)- I didn't realise how my image would convert to film and that black parts would be the coloured parts when printing, and how line thickness is also important.

So fun! Great teacher and cool space.

I loved the class - learned a lot in a friendly environment, I would recommend this to my friends

I had a fun day and was really happy with the prints that I took home. I think more care could have gone to explaining the history and whole process before we began, as I had zero experience and didn't really understand what was going on. Compared to other creative classes I've gone to I felt a little abandoned in the process.
