Last week we led a screen printing workshop at Merthyr College, testing out a new process prepared that same morning to accommodate foster kids aged 7-18. Many of those participating had never attempted a printmaking process before, so the lesson required a simple task that could yield satisfactory results. The aim was, after all, to encourage them to consider further education where they might not have bothered otherwise. In the end we went with an oil pastel ground (which they could be as expressive as they wanted with), a bitmapped key layer was then printed over the top to complete the image. This is Paul Cezanne’s ‘Still Life, Pitcher and Fruit’ 1894.
