Tutor: Graham Pilling

Learn the process of producing screen printed posters and art-prints!

This 2 day course will cover the entire process of getting your design ready for print, preparing and creating screens, and screenprinting prints and posters; specific topics to be covered will be:

Designing work using graphics software or by hand
Making your design ‘screenprint friendly’-understanding the pros and cons of the medium
Registration tips and tricks
Using such techniques as trapping and overprinting
Screenprinting accurately and at speed
Paper types and weights
While not intended as a beginner’s course, no previous experience of screenprinting is required but would of course be helpful. This course is best suited to graphic designers or illustrators who want to learn how to translate their work into screenprinting, or for those who have already started out in printing and want to improve their skills.

The course is run by Graham Pilling, an established screen print artist who has exhibited and sold his work internationally, and will be on hand to answer questions, offer advice and share his experiences. Graham Pilling is a graphic designer, illustrator & printmaker living and working in Leeds. He has been producing screen printed work since 2008, specialising in screen printed concert posters for bands and record labels.
