Screen Printing In The Classroom

By Paula Briggs

Screen printing is a very enabling activity – it’s great fun and creates excellent outcomes, but because it normally requires expensive screens and lots of space, most schools aren’t able to explore it as a medium. This post shares a simple method for screen printing in the classroom without specialist or expensive equipment, which makes it easier for you to manage in school. Watch all 3 videos to find out about preparation, process and cleaning.

The videos are available to full members below.

What We Like About This Resource….

“It’s interesting to hear Theresa describe Printmaking as a social activity, with the shared use of materials and equipment so central to the practice. This could be a positive way of working for lots of children in school, where instead of just working on individual art work, they can collaborate and embrace the creative sharing experience!” – Tobi, AccessArt.
