screen-printing workshop:29th april


Nell showing us how its done

We learnt a new skill yesterday - screen-printing - taught by the lovely Nell from the Manchester craft and design centre. The key was making a simple design into a good neat stencil. Then we used screens and squeegees to push paint through on to paper and t-shirts. All the designs were ace and some brilliant t-shirts made. I made many posters with “wish you were here” on, they’ll be going up around the school soon. Learning the process and making t-shirts moved everyone’s ideas on for their interventions. Thanks Nell!
