Screen Printing Master Class (22-23 Feb 2024)

Explore the exciting potential of screen printing onto glass using traditional glass paints and enamels!

The award-winning guest instructor James Cockerill of HALTglass (UK) will share his knowledge and skills to teach you how to screen print onto glass in this intensive 2-day hands-on workshop.

You will build up layers of print to create stunning double-sided works of art using glass paints and enamels. James will work with you even before the workshop begins to bring four images of your work onto pre-prepared screens up to A5 (14,8 x 21 cm) in size each. You will also have access to his large selection of pre-prepared screens with stock images to use.
During the workshop you will print your designs onto float glass which are then ready to be fired in a kiln. You are also welcome to bring two pieces of your own colored ‘flat’ un-textured A5 glass to use. Please note that prior to arrival, your glass must be ready to use in screen printing: the edges must be smoothed, both sides; and the corners rounded, with a grinding machine.

No previous glass or print experience is required!
Workshop includes:
• Group and individual instruction
• Essential materials, tools, and mediums
• Lunches, snacks, and beverages

The course will feature demonstrations on using Photoshop to prepare images along with advice on how to integrate screen printing into your creative practice.
Minimum 6, maximum 8 persons. Instruction will be in English.
From 10.00 – 16.30 both days.
