Description
Learn how to create a two colour screen print on paper in our professional print studio. We start by learning how to create imagery suitable for screen printing, this can be done by a variety of methods including painting, drawing and collage, or printing form the computer. Next we will teach you how to transfer your images to the screen using the photo emulsion method. The next stage is printing where you will learn how to pull a print, plus get loads of useful tips for inking and registration. By the end you will have learnt all the basics of this super fun print process and will leave with a colourful edition of prints. For those that would like to continue printing we offer a follow up course to give you full training before you can take advantage of our open access facilities. All abilities welcome and all materials are included.

I can highly recommend this introductory workshop to anyone who is interested in gaining a foundation in screen printing skills. Spike was a fab teacher and was both encouraging and supportive and clearly passionate about his work. I came away with a few finished prints and feel more than satisfied with my efforts. I am now looking forward to continuing my printing journey with Walden Arts. Thank You Spike 🙂

I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in learning about screenprinting or like me wants to brush up on their skills and get back into it. I thoroughly enjoyed both days and now feel far more confident and can’t wait to go back and do more printing. Spike is such a fantastic teacher, very encouraging and he really knows his stuff! Such a lovely studio space to work in too!

The screen printing course at Walden Arts exceeded all my expectations. The printmaking room, in the historic sail loft building is a lovely space to be in and Spike created a very welcoming, amiable atmosphere. He has a wealth of knowledge on the subject and everything was presented in a very clear and structured way, but was flexible enough to easily accommodate our groups’ diverse ideas and approaches. I enjoyed learning some of the basics on the first day, and was happy to came home with a handful of my first screen prints. On the second day we went into a little more depth, and I began to get more of a feel for the medium. I loved it, and look forward to coming back for more sessions in the future. I would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in exploring this form of printmaking.

Walden Art Studio is a little gem in the heart of Cardigan. A really lovely space to relax and get creative. The 2 day screen printing course was fantastic… I felt like I learned more over the two days here than a whole year in art college! Spike is really friendly and approachable and clearly knows his stuff! I will definitely be going back to do all the other courses. Highly recommend.

We had a great couple of days! Thanks for making the process so clear and sharing your skills, tips and tricks. The hands-on approach was the best way to learn and I left with so many new ideas – thanks so much Spike!

Walden Arts is an inspiring print studio worth investigating for the brilliant courses and ongoing opportunities to use the studio space. I signed up for screen printing over two sessions with zero knowledge. We were thrown in the deep end of a great creative experience using professional processes and it was certainly challenging. Spike is so encouraging, and we would all have loved to stay for hours longer. You come away with a head full of ideas and a wish to learn an awful lot more – the very best type of course!

This is such a great course in a wonderful space – what an incredible couple of days! Spike put us all at ease instantly, sharing his knowledge and skills in a really fun, inspiring and creative way and after learning the basics encouraged us to let loose with all our ideas. I learnt so much over the two days and left feeling confident to pursue screen printing further at home. I can’t wait to see where these new printing skills take me!
