Using printmaking materials students will enjoy experiments with line, shapes and patterns using foam prints and silk screens. Students can experiment with making multi-coloured and multi-layered prints.

This workshop is perfect for students eager to explore art and printmaking in a creative and engaging way. An opportunity to use specialised equipment not always available at home.
