NEW Screen Chocks...

Screen chocks hold your screen at any required angle when placing your paper in the registration stops. They eliminate the need to put a leg on each screen.

Two places left on my Giggleswick Summer School 2010...

see below.

Portable Exposure Unit/Light Table

The exposure unit is portable and moves easily on it's wheels. The robust construction means that transportation of the unit is worry free. As well as producing high quality screen printing stencils it can also be used for exposing photo etching, litho and flexo plates. There is also a separate bulb within the unit to use as a light box.

Unit size is: 97 x 63 x 63 cms.

Giggleswick Summer School 2010

Giggleswick Summer School,

Water Based Screen Printing and safe, Ceramic Transfer,

Settle,

North Yorkshire

Monday 26 July - Friday 30 July 2010

Giggleswick is an intense, hands on Summer School, which will

suit teachers and lecturers of the ceramic and printmaking

fraternity. Home printmakers will also benefit from the

experience as we will be using affordable, portable equipment.

This equipment has been designed and built for education and

home studio use. The summer school will be of great help to those
who wish to set up and organise their own screen printing area
using a completely water-based system. Giggleswick is also a solvent
free summer school.

Time will be spent exploring water colour mono printing and
by using fine meshes and sensitive direct stencils, delicate hand

rendered marks will be achieved on paper, fabric and ceramics.

Mark making techniques on textured drawing film are

prominently featured throughout the week and we will be

producing some computer generated imagery using Apple

Macintosh computers and Adobe Photoshop® CS. This will

include monochrome, duo-tone and colour separations output on

affordable laser film. The firing of ceramic pieces using these

images is a feature of the week. White china mugs and tiles are

supplied and last year people also brought their own pieces, i.e.

plates, bowls, teapots...

Giggleswick School is nestled in the Yorkshire Dales, close to Settle
in the North of England, amidst breathtakingly beautiful

countryside. The local pubs in Giggleswick purvey some interesting

ales. Good accommodation and food are included in the price and

arrangements can be made to use the school’s tennis, squash and

fives courts. There is also a swimming pool in Settle. Some evening

walks are usually organised which frequently end up at a local pub.

Last year was a great success and enjoyed by all.

Giggleswick Summer School has become very popular in the UK
and internationally, so book early.

Cost for the week is £540.00 inclusive.

Course tutor: Dave Fortune from the

University of the West of England.
