DIY Silkscreen Printing : Paper Stencils

I am a silkscreen printer originally from North England (Sheffield). I work near NDSM at a T-shirt printers called Superette. Superette works only with eco friendly water based inks and is GOTS certified.  I studied illustration but always loved the DIY aspect of silkscreen printing and often experimented at home. I really enjoy that clothing can be a form of communication, be it self expression, a sense of humour, political or otherwise.

Learn how to use the basic but effective method of silkscreen printing with paper stencils. Experiment and create.

Maakgemeenschap De hoop

In this workshop, we will be exploring the cheap and effective way to make paper stencils to make silkscreen prints with. Traditionally, to make a silkscreen stencil, emulsion is applied to the mesh of a screen and then exposed with UV light to create your desired image. This takes time, materials and specialist equipment.In this workshop, I will show you how to use a simple paper stencil, so that you can start making prints with very cheap and basic materials. There is time in the workshop to cut your own simple stencil if desired. This workshop is suited best to people who are curious about silkscreen printing, or maybe those who have silkscreen printed before and would like a re-fresher. This workshop is aimed at people who enjoy DIY and experimental methods of making 2D work. It will leave you full of ideas of how you can use your new found skill in silkscreen printing by using paper stencils. You will go home with around 15 unique prints, each with various colours textures and layers. This workshop is great because it’s about as Low Brow, DIY as it gets while still producing great results.
