Introduction: Improvisational Screen Printing
In “Improvisational Screen Printing” the printed image is not under complete artistic control as in traditional screen printing. It is an exciting, creative approach for the adventurous spirit, who loves serendipitous and spontaneous effects.
Improvisational screen printing techniques can include the use of every day materials like wax crayons, low relief texture items and fabric interfacing to create multi-faceted, rich and colorful layered imagery.
Improvisational screen printing includes the application of non-permanent, semi-permanent and permanent screen surface media. Non-permanent applications include wax crayons, low relief texture items and paper stencils. Semi-permanent applications include cold wax, soy wax, and Ezy Cut stencils. Permanent applications include photo emulsion, acrylic paint and spray paint media. Both fabric paints and fabric dyes can be used with all of the above applications of screen surface media.
Newcastle Printmakers Workshop Inc.
This workshop was organized by Vale Vincent from the Newcastle Printmakers Workshop Inc., Adamstown, Newcastle, Australia. It was held at Studio 48 Art Gallery in New Lambton, Newcastle, Australia on the 5th November 2011.
For those who live in Newcastle (Australia) the annual mini-print exhibition by members of the Newcastle Printmakers Workshop - "SURFACE" - can be currently viewed at Back to Back Galleries (57 Bull St, Cooks Hill, Newcastle, Australia). The works feature a broad range of printmaking techniques including linocut, silkscreen, etching, drypoint, collagraph and monotype. The prints are accompanied by ceramic works decorated using printmaking techniques. All work in this fabulous collection is both collectable and affordable. The exhibition is on from November 11th to the 27th, 2011 and is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 11am to 5pm.

One-Day Workshop Synopsis
This was a one-day introductory “Improvisational Screen Printing” workshop, where participants learnt to use the silkscreen in a non-traditional, exciting, improvisational manner. Using everyday easily accessible materials like water-soluble crayons and wax, temporary and semi-permanent image creation techniques were explored using the silkscreen on fabric. The course delved into inspiring color and design combinations and included multi-layered patterning and texture techniques.
The People
Maureen Cafe, Jan Downes, Gay McDonell, Jacqueline Nash-Brummell and Patricia Williamsz attended the workshop.
