the students to make up their stencils in the class

which resulted in some really varied and interesting 

work. These are a selection of really lovely prints 

achieved in just 7 hours.

exhibition of paper cut-outs experimented 

with paper shapes and images printed in 

vibrant colour.

workshops to tie in with the current exhibition 

'East Kent Printmakers' now showing at The Whitstable

experimented with paper cut outs, lino printing and  

screen printing techniques and produced some very 

lovely work. Well done everyone!
