Make Merry: Screen printing (Session 2)

Member Events

Join artist and printmaker, Ella West, for a festive Make Merry screen printing session. Our workshop will begin with an introduction to the screen-printing process, using blank screens and hand-cut stencils to create decorative designs onto paper. Ella will demonstrate how to experiment with inks and water-soluble pencils to create unique additions to your prints. This one-hour workshop aims to be a fun starter session into the possibilities of printmaking. By the end of the session, participants will have printed colourful designs to take away and bring use as cards, wrapping or colourful decorations wth which to bring festive cheer to the holidays. No experience or skill necessary, all welcome!

Ella West is a visual artist living and working in London. Working within the mediums of installation, video and print, Ella is interested in themes of nature, family, failure, symbolism and the body.
