Join us for a creative paper stencil screen-printing workshop, where you’ll design and print your own custom tote bag in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Guided by the fabulous Jenny, a Fine Art graduate from the University of Leeds, this hands-on session is perfect for beginners and those curious to try screen printing for the first time.

You’ll be introduced to the basics of one-colour screen printing, starting with a demonstration before creating your own paper stencil design. Each participant will print onto a tote bag (included with your ticket), with time to refine your design and enjoy the process. Attendees are also welcome to bring an additional item from home to print using their design.

Whether you’re looking to try something new, build creative confidence, or enjoy a mindful evening making, this workshop is a lovely way to spend your time at Left Bank.
