Fantastic class, great fun and very informative. A perfect introduction to screen printing, and we took home a lovely self designed tea towel and tote bag as an added bonus!

This class is brilliant! Creative, colourful and expertly taught by Helen. As you walk into her studio you know you're in for a treat as all around you are fantastic examples of printing/design/colour, all of which can be used as inspiration. Helen explained everything clearly and guided us along the way. It's wonderful to see your idea grow from a rough sketch into a unique and colourful piece which you print on a tote or a tea towel. Highly recommended!

A really lovely way to spend a morning! Highly recommended! Went with my 10 year old daughter who loved it too.

We went to Helen's screen printing workshop for my boyfriends birthday and it was the most wonderful experience. Helen was lovely and an excellent host - she even made a happy birthday tote for us! The screen printing was really fun and Helen helped us with our own designs. Would definitely recommend!

Helen was really friendly and her studio was is so cute! She was great at explaining the process and equipment required and made us feel comfortable before diving into the workshop itself. Helen gave us the confidence to run with our ideas and gave tips and tricks when needed. Overall it was a really lovely experience and would recommend to anyone who wants to give it a go.

I bought this as a gift for my brother and we both had a great morning. We booked for just the two of us and Helen guided us through the process of making a print. Her studio is gorgeous and really helped with inspiration. We both came out with two really different and striking prints!

Helen provided a reminder for wonderful creative experience in a wonderful creative space. She gave clear, patient and positive guidance and it was an honour to be welcomed into her studio! Would definitely book in a second round
Oli - 30 April 2021
Helen's class was brilliant. She welcomed us into her beautiful Stoke Newington studio and provided clear instructions and advice as we tried screen printing for the first time. Helen provides all the materials for you, and her prints fill the room, which offers some creative inspiration. The class thoroughly prepared, and we felt safe, with Helen taking great care to keep everything socially distanced. We'll be back soon.

We had a fantastic time learning how to screen print with Helen. Helen was a great teacher - informative, patient and friendly and made us feel very comfortable in her studio from the start. We learnt how to screen print on to plain cloth and then printed onto a tote bag. We are really pleased with the results and looking forward to using our tote bags! Thank you Helen for a lovely morning.

Helen's screen printing class was so much fun - I went with my mum and we both really enjoyed it. Neither of us had ever tried screen printing before, but Helen explained the process very clearly and gave helpful tips and instructions. We had the opportunity to come up with different ideas for what we wanted our designs to look like, and we were both so pleased with the results - my mum made a tea towel and I printed on a tote bag and they both look great! My mum insists she is not an arty person so I think this is a great activity for anyone of any artistic ability who wants to give something new a go and have a lovely memento to take home. Helen was very friendly and patient, and made the environment feel safe (covid secure) without feeling clinic. We had a great time and Helen is a fab teacher so would thoroughly recommend this class!
