Tutor: Julieta Hernandez Adame & David Vassie
Venue: Essex Print Studio
Learn to screen print using simple techniques of hand painting onto the screens, cut and torn paper stencils, and the layering of bold with transparent colours. while creating a bold, colourful poster inspired by Pop artist Corita Kent.
Kent incorporated advertising slogans and song lyrics, as well as biblical verses and quotes from literature, to create vibrant screen prints.
On this one day workshop you will learn and experiment with these simple techniques which are all easy to achieve at home with the minimum of equipment. Through experimenting and playing you will create your own poster to take home.
Corita Kent advised her students never to start a project with a content-driven idea, but to focus first on shapes and colours or whatever visually interests them, which then – in the process of engagement – would naturally produce content.
Suitable for complete beginners and those who want to explore fun, analogue screen printing techniques.
Bring images that can inform your design, or could even be collaged into it. Wear something you wouldn’t mind staining, the process is not messy but art materials have their ways to get into places!
