Join Sito Studio for an alternative, hands-on screen printing workshop designed for participants with some prior experience who are ready to expand their skills and approach the medium more experimentally.
Using hand-cut stencils as a flexible and DIY-friendly method, the workshop explores how ideas can be translated into bold, graphic compositions through layers, colour and process. Participants will work with positive and negative space, build images through multiple layers, and embrace the unexpected results of manual and improvised techniques.
Throughout the day, participants will move through the key stages of screen printing:
– designing and adapting artwork for layered printing
– cutting and composing stencil-based imagery
– preparing screens, including coating and basic exposure where needed
– printing with multiple colours and aligning layers
– experimenting with transparency, overlap, rhythm and contrast
The workshop is especially suited to small print runs and encourages a direct, playful approach without the need for complex equipment. It creates space for experimentation, helping participants refine their visual language while gaining confidence in multi-layer screen printing.
Participants will produce their own multi-layer prints and leave with a deeper understanding of screen printing as both a practical technique and a creative tool.
What You Will Learn
– Creating stencils using paper and working with positive/negative space
– Printing with multiple colours to build layered compositions
– Preparing screens for printing
– Using squeegees and analogue printing techniques on paper
Participants will create a limited edition of 30 A4 prints, produced in up to six colours
