WORKSHOP PROGRAMME | Screenprinting with Sarah Hopkins
Screenprinting with Paper stencils A repeat of this very popular workshop is scheduled for May 26 and 27
Those of you who are familiar with her work will know that she has her own unique approach to designing for print, capitalising on cut and torn paper stencils to build up the design through coloured layers. No coating of screens, no exposures – just cutting and a lot of thought! This is a very open, non-technical approach enabling great flexibility as you go through the design process. Start time 10.00 AM finish at 4.30 with a break for lunch. Full/ Keyholder member £110 | Ordinary Member £120 |Non Member £140

Membership As we have no staff and rely on volunteers we have unfortunately got well behind with our reminders this year. We would very much welcome the renewal of your membership, either as an active participant in printmaking and exhibiting activities or as a supporter of our events and sales. The Workshop has little public funding and members and the volunteers are rallying round to keep the Workshop going. If you have time and feel you can help in any way please contact jackie at jmford@ntlworld.com
