Beginners 3 day Evening course 21st-23rd Jan

3 Evening Beginners Screenprint Course 

(2hrs per eve)

Learn to screenprint with a master of the craft—even if you can't make the weekend. This course, designed for busy schedules, splits my intensive workshop over three convenient 2-hour evenings.

Taught by me, Oli Fowler, a professional screen printer with over 15 years of industry experience, this is the perfect way to learn an incredible new skill without taking a day off work. You'll get the same hands-on guidance and professional knowledge as my full-day class, creating your own 2-layer A4 screenprint edition from start to finish.

Evening 1: Artworking & Screen Preparation

We'll begin with a professional introduction to the studio and the screenprinting process. Then, we dive straight into artworking. I will personally guide you through creating the two "positives" for your A4 print (a simple block colour and your main design). I'll teach you the pro digital techniques—no Photoshop experience necessary. We'll finish the evening by coating your screens with photo-emulsion and exposing your stencils on our professional unit, getting them prepped and ready for the next session.

Evening 2: Printing Your First Layer

This session is all about getting ink on paper. I will show you how to set up your first screen, mix your inks, and demonstrate the key professional techniques for a flawless print. You will then spend the evening printing the first layer of your edition—a solid A4 block of spot colour. This is the perfect way to build your confidence and master the squeegee technique with my one-on-one guidance.

Evening 3: Printing Your Final Layer & Finishing

In our final session, you'll learn the art of print registration. I'll show you how to perfectly line up and print your second layer (your main design) over your first. This is where my 15+ years of experience become invaluable, and I'll be right there to help you create a stunning, professional-quality 2-layer print. We'll end the course by signing your new edition and having a closing talk to review your work and answer all your questions.
