Always fancied learning about how screen printing works? Sign up to take part in one of longfeltwant’s exclusive hour-long workshops and have a go at Creative Life 2019... A great opportunity to experiment with this awesome printing technique and produce your own mini artworks! There will be a maximum of four participants per workshop - so be sure to grab your spot so you don't miss out!

What will we do during the workshop? I’ll show you how to use the inks, squeegee and screen to print your postcards. We’ll go through the basics of the screen printing process, as well as talking about colours and how we can play around with these to create your prints.You’ll then have a go at composing and hand printing your own edition of up to five colourful A6 sized screen prints. You'll use pre-prepared stencils of abstract and geometric shapes which will have already been burnt into the screen for you (all will be explained on the day). You can use your creations as postcards to send to your favourite people, and/or frame and hang them on your wall as mini pieces of art! What will be provided?<ul><li>Screen printing equipment</li><li>A selection of colourful water-based inks</li><li>A6-sized postcards to print on</li><li>An apron and gloves. </li></ul>All workshop participants will also receive an exclusive longfeltwant goodie bag.What do you need to bring?<ul><li>Your creativity! </li><li>You may also want to bring an old t-shirt to wear under your apron just in case you get ink on your clothes - once it dries it can be difficult to wash out.</li></ul>Who’s it suitable for?
