Screen print your own luxury gift wrap

Description

On this fun, festive-themed workshop you will hand print a set of high-quality gift wrap.

With hands-on help from printmaker Lou Davis, you will screen print your own gift wrap on beautiful mulberry paper, choosing from a selection of pre-designed screens featuring Christmas themes. 

You’ll learn to mix inks, set up screens for printing and practice on coloured recycled card, which can be turned into wonderful gift tags, before making your final prints onto sheets of naturally dyed, delicate sheets of mulberry paper. 

In this workshop, we’ll have the option of using gold and silver inks for a luxurious finish, or design your own colour scheme to complement your chosen papers.

All materials are included. You will go home with a set of up to 6 hand printed sheets of 50 x 70 gift wrap, plus a selection of gift tags.

The workshop is suitable for beginners.

More information 

The Arienas Collective workshops, courses and events are run from a supportive and welcoming home-based environment within a Georgian mews home in Edinburgh’s City Centre New Town. We invite you to join us, leave any day-to-day worries behind, and immerse yourself in being creative.

Spaces on our workshops and courses are limited so that our creative team of artists and makers can offer you the hands-on help and support you need to make the most of your time with us. 

All the equipment and materials you will need are included in the price, unless stated otherwise, plus light refreshments (a selection of Shibui teas, coffee, hot chocolate, and sweet or savoury snacks). On full day workshops you are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat inside or out; or there are a wide range of independent sit-in or takeaway delis, cafés, and restaurants, plus supermarkets, within a 5-10 minute walk.
