EmailLearn the art of screen printing in a fun, hands-on, one day workshop where you'll use real, studio equipment and take home your own prints — no experience needed.
Join us at Print Paradiso's creative studio for a hands-on workshop designed for beginners, where you'll be guided step-by-step through the process of creating a two-colour print on A2-sized paper.
What's Included:
An introduction to screen printing and its creative potential
A tour of the studio and the equipment you'll be using
The opportunity to work on your own prints with expert guidance
Pre-prepared designs available if you'd like to focus on the process
A comprehensive overview of the steps, from setting up your screens to printing your final design
By the end of the day, you'll take home your own print edition and a clear understanding of how to turn your ideas into screen-printed artwork.
The workshop is designed to be relaxed and fun — with tea, coffee, and biscuits to keep things casual. Plus, there'll be plenty of time for questions, discussion, and hands-on practice.
What to Expect:
A hands-on introduction to screen printing
A studio tour and equipment overview
Mixing and setting up your own colours
Creating and printing your designs
Light clean-up and a final chat about the artworks created
You'll also have time to grab lunch from one of the many nearby food spots on East Street or North Street.

On the day
The studio is at 137 East Street in the old Stan Butts butchers shop. For parking, you will find the best chance of free parking on: St John’s St, Church Rd, New John St, or British Rd. The studio is a bit cold at the moment, so I recommend you have on a few layers to give yourself a warm start. When printing, you'll warm up. We'll have a lunch break midday. There are plenty of places around here that you can eat, or if you want to bring your own food, you're welcome to stay in the studio
Changes happen, don't worry
You'll be hosted by
