Screenprinting Masterclass with Kelly Stewart


From Sat 21-Sun 22 June, students will explore a combination of mark-making, drawing, and found imagery to layer up in the screenprint process over a 2 day workshop by artist and printmaker Kelly Stewart.

Benefit from Kelly's unique and wonderful style of creating by working closely with her to learn about screenprinting from a loose and painterly perspective.

Bring along drawings, ideas, and source material to be developed into a print. Individual layers will be exposed onto screens and printed by hand, creating imagery with a view to exploration and experimentation. Participants will receive guidance and support to produce unique multi-layered prints while having a great time in the process.

This course also entitles you to 3-months FREE Associate Membership in our studio to use the studio and consolidate your skills.

Kelly Stewart

Kelly Stewart studied Design (Visual Communication) in Sydney, Australia before moving to Scotland and joining Edinburgh Printmakers in 2001. Since then, she has worked predominantly in the medium of screenprinting as she finds it combines drawings, textures, and handwritten text unlike any other medium. Kelly has tried many other print techniques, but has a passion for screenprinting which she brings into her classes and workshops.

    Screenprinting Refresher Class

    Refresher Classes offer an opportunity to consolidate skills, gain valuable printmaking experience and spend time in the studio with dedicated staff support. During each session there will be a demonstration of the screen printing process, and our technician will run you through that from start to finish. You will not be printing your own project, instead this supplementary course will remind you of the processes involved, and set you up to use the studio independently, and more confidently. Time spent in Refresher Class gives you experience and counts towards your workshop induction so you become familiar with using the studio. Once you have attended a refresher course you will be eligible to apply for a full membership with all of the associated benefits. -Bring a notebook- Screen printing has many steps, so please bring a notebook so you can refer back to your notes when you work independently in the studio. Who are they for? For lapsed members of EP- feeling a bit rusty. -Printmakers with good experience in that process but new to EP -People who have completed a weekend course but are looking for some more support/assistance to build up confidence/experience before working in the studio Please Note This course is NOT suitable for people with no experience in Screenprinting - (our weekend access courses are ideal for those new to printmaking) If you are unsure if you are suitably experienced to attend, we ask that you email us in advance of booking at james.harrison@edinburghprintmakers.co.uk with the following information: - When was the last time you did Screenprinting? - What courses have you attended and where? - Do you have examples of prints that you have printed yourself and can you email a photograph? - What other print studios have you worked in? Some people might be required to attend more than one refresher session before gaining access to membership and working unassisted in the print studio. This will be dependent on each individuals previous experience and the complexity of the particular print process.

    Screenprinting Weekend

    On the last weekend of the month, learn all about the dynamic and colorful process of screenprinting. This type of stencil can produce detailed marks such as painterly washes, linear drawings, photocopied images, and text. Participants will learn how to print their image in several coloured layers onto paper. To print, the screen is attached to a printing press, and acrylic based ink is pushed through the screen mesh onto paper using a squeegee blade. Each layer of colour is printed individually, taking care to register each new layer of ink on top of previously printed colours. During the course, each participant will work on their own print, creating 3-4 layers of colour onto paper. The process is explored through hands-on practice where participants learn the practical skills involved in making a screenprint. Paper size (& maximum image size) on the course is approximately 28 x 38cm. This course uses water-based inks on paper which are not suitable for printing on textiles. James Harrison Over the past 10 years, James has been honing his screenprint craft by working on both personal and commercial print project on a variety of mediums, but his specialty lies in creating high-end screenprints on paper. With over 6 years of teaching experience, James' enthusiasm for teaching the art of screenprinting provides him with a constant source of motivation and inspiration for his practice. In early 2015, James started a self-initiated project with his brother called Under the Skin with the mission to engage people of all ages through innovative design and interactive screenprints. In 2018 James was awarded a QEST scholarship where he trained under expert printmaker Scott Campbell to produce screenprint editions for world-renowned artists such as Alasdair Gray. In 2022 James joined the Edinburgh Printmakers team as a Screenprint Technician, where he runs the screenprint department, produces screenprint editions, and teaches a wide variety of screenprint workshops.
