SCREEN PRINT SKILL SHARE saturday 6th march

hi everyone,the skill share session that happened on Saturday 6th march was a success, a few people dropped out leaving three remaining which meant all participants had the advantage of a bed each(not to sleep in of course, i wasnt that boring).
i think at least two of the three will be hiring in future and the day went well everyone went home with a print and a little more knowledge and i enjoyed helping to spread the joy of screen printing.
if anyone out there is interested or knows someone interested in doing a skill share with me in the print room my contact details are below. also for those with print/illustration/art skills to share please step up and contact emma gregory at the bluecoat, it a voluntary exercise that makes you feel good.

thought I'd post something too, this screenprint has 7 layers and is my first commissioned screenprint. It was great fun!

Just thought I'd post something new. This is a screen print I made a couple of weeks ago at the Bluecoat's new screen printing studio. I used a photo exposure technique for the pink and dark maroon elements, though the splatter is chalk dust stencil! (I just had to try it after the demonstration that Neil Morris gave).  Looking forward to working and volunteering in the studio this spring.   http://liverpoolprintmakers.blogspot.com/
