Screen Printing Weekend No.1

Just returned from a weekend course at The Badger Press which was found in the small ads at Printmaker. This is the first time I've printed silk screen since university, and even that seems like a long time ago, so really it felt like another introduction. The workshop has a friendly atmosphere, and we worked well through the weekend to complete a number of prints from two screens. I seem to have come home with a bounty of work, and I feel inspired and creatively refreshed. It was particularly exciting to let the control drift a little and enjoy experimenting with the printing process. I still think my work was a little sterile, and I'm looking forward to visiting again before Christmas and experimenting a little more fluidly. Anyhow, I was really pleased by how much we all got done in the two days at The Badger Press. The image below is a detail from a woodland design I worked on. I'm already thinking about work I'd like to try out for my next visit.

Must mention that there is an open weekend on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st November, where you will be able to visit the workshop and purchase from selection of abstract paintings and prints from our patient instructor for the weekend, Michael Griffith.
