WORKSHOP

This one day workshop is a fantastic opportunity to experiment with unusual surfaces sourced from Scrap Store, and print-making using silk screens and stencils. 

The participants will be guided through each stage of the process with a series of demonstrations and wide range of samples to take ideas from Scrap Store. There will be several activities throughout the one day workshop to encourage confidence using the found materials and objects. Inspiration will be taken from your own projects or mainly focusing on abstract shapes to get you started, images provided by Nicole and objects and materials by Scrap Store. 

These workshops are a chance to gain an experience and try something new, and all work created can go towards personal projects, or to just have a go! Printers are also encouraged to take a look at home for anything you could up-cycle and transform through print. Please bring up to 4 items to print onto.

Have a go at making your own stencils at home so that you can spend more time printing. We recommend you use thin acetate sheets to make the stencils, keep it simple and keep it A3 size and under. Avoid making stencils from thin paper. Beginner printers are welcome and for those who are curious about textiles processes and mark making.


WASHING

To make your prints machine washable, iron your items for 3 – 5 minutes, gentle wash.

Organiser

Nicole Line Workshops
Nicole, a graduate from University for the Creative Arts Farnham studied Textiles for Fashion and Interiors and frequently runs a selection of workshop events around London. The idea is to show local communities how to use Nicole's equipment without being in a professional studio. The workshops are aimed at beginners through to experienced artists and the relaxed environment allows both abilities to mix together and collaborate, sharing ideas, techniques and developing concepts. At the end of the workshop participants will have learnt how to use the equipment, where to source the materials, how to set up a studio space at home. See below for a list of Nicole's upcoming events...
