Educators are invited to a hands-on interactive session to explore a range of printing techniques, including relief printing, cyanotype, collagraph and screen printing, all of which can be replicated in the classroom.

Participants will create their own paper and textile prints using stencilling and repeat pattern techniques and natural materials foraged from the grounds of YSP. 

The session will also introduce teachers to artists who use processes such as re-drawing from nature and repeat patterns, similar to the practice of the session’s artist-facilitator, Sarah Jane Palmer.

As well as providing ideas and techniques to take back to school, this session is also an opportunity for teachers to step away from the classroom and reconnect with their own artistic practices and creativity. Teachers will be able to take their prints with them after the session, as well as a helpful ‘how to’ guide for each of the printing techniques covered.

Registration and refreshments will be provided from 15.30 and the session will begin promptly at 16.00. All materials will be provided. 

The session will be based in the Hayloft at the YSP Learning building, which is accessed via the Park Lane entrance (WF4 4JS), not the main visitor entrance. Attendees will receive an email before the session with further details and directions.
