As well as being part of a group you will also receive lots of one to one tuition to help you achieve the best outcome. Group size: 2 – 4 people.

The day: • Start 09.45 for 10.00am start • 13.00 Lunch • 16.00 Finish We will get straight into experimenting with some simple silkscreen techniques and paper stencils to get used to handling the materials and equipment. Then you will be ready to prepare your own images to print onto fabric.
