Even if you have done this workshop before, this is a chance to get expert guidance to produce a small edition of prints to a high standard of printing.

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.

This is very much a design led process using coloured layers

We ask you to bring along images to work with – this could be a drawing, photograph, reference material that you are interested in. Sarah will then guide you through the interpretive process translating into screenprint.

About the Artist

You can read more about Sarah and her work on her website and in the extract below:

I’m a printmaker living in South Wales.

Man-made landscapes, and agricultural, industrial and urban environments are recurring themes in my work.

I have always been fascinated by our nation’s heritage and the architectural shapes and patterns of the landscape which tell us so much about the history and culture of a place. My recent work primarily focuses on my heritage and the significance of treasured objects and heirlooms.

Through printmaking techniques, I challenge myself to explore new ways to present my observations. I mostly create intricate, hand-cut paper stencils, and screen print layers of vibrant colour to build images. Much like a painting, I work from the background, adding depth and detail. I like to break the rules of traditional printmaking and experiment by layering light pigments over dark, enjoying the translucency and opacity of the medium.
