Sunday Funday: Pop Art Screenprinting

Discover the colourful world of Pop Art in this hands-on screen printing workshop designed especially for children. Inspired by the bold colours, playful imagery and graphic styles of Pop Art, participants will explore how simple shapes, striking colour combinations and repetition can be used to create expressive printed artworks.

Through guided demonstrations, participants will be introduced to the basics of screen printing, learning how to prepare a screen, apply ink and pull a print. They will experiment with different colours, compositions and repeated patterns to develop their own Pop Art-inspired designs.

Each participant will create a vibrant screenprinted artwork to take home. No previous printmaking experience is required.
