Price: £90 (direct) includes lunch and refreshments
Suitable for: This fun workshop is suitable for experienced and beginners in printmaking!

Jenny will provide cotton calico fabric which will be included in your fee plus cotton bags for sale on the day. If you would like to print on any other item (eg a tee shirt or apron) please bring this with you. Any items you bring should be 100% cotton for best results.
All materials are water-based and solvent free.
About Jenny Fell: Jenny Fell is a co director of Aberystwyth Printmakers with quite a few decades’ experience in teaching printmaking to people of all ages and abilities in a variety of settings.
