No experience necessary

In this one-day intensive workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of screenprinting and produce a small edition of your own two-colour prints.

You’ll be guided through:

  • Drawing your image on acetate
  • Preparing your screen with photo emulsion
  • Exposing your stencil
  • Printing your two-colour image onto paper

By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with an edition of 10 prints based on your original design. Beginners are welcome—acetate sheets make it easy to trace if drawing isn’t your strength.

A one-hour lunch break will take place from 12:00PM–1:00 PM. You’re welcome to bring a lunch or explore one of the many nearby restaurants in the ByWard Market or Rideau Centre.
