Six-week evening course introducing screen printing techniques for textiles, from stencils to metallic and puff effects, suitable for beginners.
Arts University Plymouth is running an Introduction to Textile Screen Printing course this autumn, a six-week evening series that takes you from the basics of stencils through to metallic and puff effects. It's part of the university's return to creative short courses for adults, bringing back a tradition from when the place was known as Plymouth College of Art. The university draws on more than 170 years of creative education, and these courses are run in their specialist studios and workshops, so you're working with professional equipment rather than a makeshift setup at home.
There are two separate six-week runs to choose from, both held on Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 8pm. The first ran from 22 September to 27 October, so if you missed that one, the second kicks off on 3 November and runs through 10, 17, 24 November and 1, 8 December. Six sessions in total, spread across six weeks, which gives you plenty of time to get your head around the process without having to cram it all into a single weekend.
The course is aimed at adults at every stage of their creative journey, whether you're picking up a new technique, developing a practice, or just reconnecting with making. It's suitable for complete beginners, so you don't need any prior experience with screen printing to join in. The university's short courses cover ceramics, printmaking, digital fabrication and textiles, and it was named Arts University of the Year in the Daily Mail University Guide 2027.
