Create your own Christmas cards on our festive themed card printing workshop.

Join us on our festive screen printing workshop to make your own printed Christmas cards. Using a combination of hand cut paper stencils and pre-prepared imagery on screens you’ll print your own unique Christmas cards to send to friends and family this Christmas.

A fun and expressive approach to screen printing for any experience level.

Mono screen printing involves applying or painting colour directly onto an open screen in order to create unique prints with painterly marks. You will experiment with the application of paint and pastels exploring how different effects can be achieved. You will work in a spontaneous manner, creating a series of prints. There will also be opportunity to see how this method can be combined with the use of stencils.
