Overview
Key facts
The Art of Screenprinting course from Arts University Bournemouth is ideal if you are planning a career as a print technician, studio helper, workshop assistant, or as an artist and designer or perhaps a complete beginner that wishes to try screenprinting for the first time.
In this creative 10-week summer short course, you'll learn how to produce stunning multi-coloured designs and become a confident screenprinter.
Programme Overview
With expert guidance from your tutor, Donna Peters, this hands-on practical course will introduce you to all the equipment and a wide range of screenprinting techniques using water based screen-printing processes. You will be one of only 10 students, so you will have maximum individual attention from your tutor. You will use photographic stencil emulsions to make screens from photographic, digital or hand-drawn sources.
You will also use methods of working directly on the screen mesh, allowing experimental print work to be carried out for use with paper and fabrics.
At the end of the course you will have produced and accumulated many high-standard individual and creative pieces for portfolio submission or to frame and display for years to come.
