Screen Printing

Art Techniques screen printing projects offer pupils from nursery to year 6 a chance to make simple paper stencils from news print enabling repeat printing onto textiles and paper.  Looking at the history of printing, and Artist Andy Warhol, links this technique with the curriculum and involves pupils directly with amazing results including colour mixing.

We can supply up to 30 screen printing frames and squeegees’ for successful class projects. The school hall or class room can be converted into a print studio for half and full day sessions. You just need to supply drying racks, ready mix paint, sugar paper and printing cotton as optional.

This work was made by mixing wax resist and screen printing processes. The images are showing the contrast between the two schools and telling a story. The whole schools was involved in this project.  All of the work took place in the school hall. A special assembly was arranged to show the finished work.  Pupils had worked on designs with book illustrator Sarah Massini.  They used these designs for their screen print stencils and pen and wax illustrations.
