Beginners Fabric Screen Printing Workshop

Fantastic workshop couldn’t recommend higher thank tou

My boyfriend felt that the teacher made some promises and didn’t deliver (his screen had a hole in, and she said he could do a new one then changed her mind, she said he could use three colours then changed her mind) however he also said that she stayed longer to help everyone finish which was lovely. He had a really great time and thought the teacher was good overall. 

Vic Tweedie

I really enjoyed this workshop.  Holly was brilliant and explained all of the different parts of the process really well.  She was very patient with all our questions and confusions!  She also showed us some samples of different print techniques and explained how print techniques are used in the industry.  I was very pleased with my finished fabric.
Thanks!

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. 

Helen Lowe

Learn how to print your own amazing design onto a collection of t-shirts.

This new two day course will allow students to gain in-depth knowledge of the repeat pattern fabric printing process within a commercial framework. Tutor Frieda Peppercorn will introduce the theory of the artworking process before allowing you to begin developing your own pattern either digitally or by hand depending on what fits in with your practice. 

You will then be shown how to coat and expose large format screens and go through the technical aspects of setting up a fabric bed and registering screens. We will also cover proper use of pigments and ink mixing using the Magna Colours eco water based range. Each student will walk away with at least three metres of fabric printed with their own one colour repeat pattern.



Repeat Fabric Printing Course

Perfect for budding textile designers this in-depth course will teach you how to print multiple colour repeat patterns onto lengths of  fabric.

Graphic artist the Fandangoe Kid will begin the session by leading an open discussion about some of the subjects we often find most challenging to address: grief, loss and trauma. This will be followed by looking at how creativity can be useful tool in dealing and overcoming these challenges. You’ll be encouraged to find power in trusting your instincts, processes and being strong enough to be boldly vulnerable.

After taking part in a series of exercises to help you engage with the subject matter you’ll construct your own mantra or phrase and be shown how to create a paper cut stencil which will be used to print up a mini edition to take home, frame and display proudly. Each person attending the workshop will also be invited to participate in a group street art paste up of their work at Peckham Levels. 

The prints created in this class will in part be a response to the Fandangoe Kid’s recent large scale paste ups in New York evolving to become a means of opening up conversation about this often taboo subject.
