Join Leeds Print Workshop for a two day calligraphy and screen printing course to learn Arabic calligraphy. During the first day you will learn flourishes and basic lettering, before moving onto an abstract design. You will also learn how to write your own name and some basic techniques in decorative calligraphy.
On the second day you will develop your calligraphy skills to make a screen print with an abstract design and will learn how to use layering and colour to make your own individual prints onto paper.
You'll be guided through creating imagery for screen printing, mixing inks, exposing screens and screen printing methods.
What experience do I need?
This course is for complete beginners in calligraphy and screen printing. Those who already have some printmaking experience may find it interesting to explore some new ideas using calligraphy patterns.

Our aim is to bring printmaking to as many people as possible. By their nature, some printmaking processes involve an amount of physical effort. Leeds Print Workshop is based in a basement studio at Patrick Studios, a bespoke venue for artists operated by East Street Arts. It is wheelchair accessible, with a lift, larger than standard doors and accessible toilet facilities. We recognise that everybody’s accessibility needs may differ, therefore please email us at hello@leedsprintworkshop.org to discuss any concerns you may have before booking. There is one blue badge car parking space to the side of the building on Rider Street, subject to availability.
Please note: we regret that, for safety reasons, only those over the age of 16 will be permitted to undertake the course.
