Workshop Information
What is Screen Printing
Screen printing is a technique used to apply ink through a photographic stencil, which can be fired permanently to glass.
What to Expect
This five-week course will run for five Saturdays. It will offer you a comprehensive introduction into the process of screen printing onto glass. Through a combination of demonstrations and practical application you will learn how to select and design suitable imagery, prepare the screens for printing, and the process and techniques of screen printing on glass. You will apply these skills to create a series of prints using patterns, designs or images of your choice.
Jade Tapson is a North East based artist specialising in the process of screen printing with glass powders and air entrapment. Her most recent work ‘Scale’ is currently touring around the United States as part of the Emerge 2018 exhibition. Her work explores the process of screen printing using glass powders and how this can trap air between layers of glass. She is largely influenced by the process of screen printing, whilst incorporating intricate geometric patterns and forms into her work.
