Our students just completed and passed their five week Introduction to Screen printing class. Congratulations to all.

They are now all embarking on a five week open studio class where they can practice and refine their work in preparation for the Foundation.

Foundation Pottery student work in progress.

Our Foundation potters have been working hard making hand built and wheel thrown vessels.

These ones are getting ready for Bisque firing and glazing.


Students will learn a variety of hand building and wheel techniques which they will the apply by making vessels of varied sizes and shapes.

Students have now been working for only three or four weeks so the standard of work is looking good.

Week three of the five week Introduction to Print class.

Here are some more examples of students work using pattern grids as a ground for applied stencils.
The leaning can be applied to a range of products including print posters and textiles.

Introduction to Print class: Week 3

Last nights Introduction to Print class focused on layering art work on grids to create new and interesting print designs.

Lucy Hladka's Giraffe 'in progress'

Lucy's Giraffe is really starting to take shape in the Introduction to Print course at Printbase.
Lucy has drawn the giraffe outline onto a paper stencil, cut the stencil and ironed it onto her fabric.
She has then screen printed the first and second colour.
Look out next week for the next colour stage.
