Screenprint Workshops

When I first wanted to learn how to screenprint, over 35 years ago, there were no courses offered in Johannesburg. I contacted a couple of screenprint businesses and arranged to visit and see how it was done. They were big factories, with an overpowering smell of solvents. Their screens and their squeegees were big and heavy. Testosterone levels were high, and I was overwhelmed. Not for me! I thought. And then serendipitously, an opportunity to go and live in London turned up. I enrolled in the City and Guilds Diploma course in Textile Printing and Dyeing. It was heaven! I studied for 4 years, learnt a fortune and upon my return to South Africa, I set up my studio to both print my own fabrics and to teach the skills I had learned, which I’ve been doing ever since.

​

Screenprinting is the art of transferring your own designs onto fabric or paper. It’s incredibly versatile and rewarding. It allows you to print a one-off design on a t-shirt or a cushion, or print multiples of the same design in a repeat pattern which might be used as fabric for a tablecloth or curtains. You can create a dedicated area to print at home, or if space does not permit, you can easily use your kitchen table for small projects. Screenprinting offers up immediate and tangible results, and is so satisfying and rewarding.


I teach according to the following 2 mantras:

learning by doing
keep it simple

Come and try!

​

INTRODUCTION TO SCREEN PRINTING ON FABRIC​

Come and print an apron in my screenprint workshop. You will learn the basics with me and we will play with pattern, colour and print. No experience needed, only curiosity and a desire to learn.  This workshop will enable you to continue printing simple prints on your own at home. 


All printing materials and fabric will be provided for the workshop and a silkscreen and squeegee to take home. A small list of additional stationary supplies will be sent to you once you have registered for the course.

​"Yda has an organic approach to textile printing, which makes her courses exciting and inspirational. She has developed some unique techniques of her own which she willingly imparts to all her students. Her courses are thorough and all encompassing, but also playful and entertaining. Yda is more than generous with the information and teaching she shares, enabling individuals to continue in their own space and equipping them to develop their own small business, should they so desire. I cannot begin to recommend her courses enough and cannot wait to be able to attend her latest course offering!"
