The studio is an open to the public screen-printing facility in the heart of inner west Sydney whereby I teach enthused members of the community how to silk-screen. Folk needn’t be experienced, just interested in the handmade art form with a desire to develop skills.
I run group workshops teaching the entire silk-screening process and you can take advantage of a studio membership and have daily access to develop your skills, make use of the space and create. This is an ideal opportunity for those looking for an affordable means to print their own designs for personal labels, market stalls, gifts and for yourself with friendly advice.
