Print Club London

A great day out at a screen printing basics workshop for beginners. We started with the computer and the basics of converting the design to fit the printing stage, then the screens from the beginning until the printing stage. The most important benefit was the presence of a number of trainees, as there are various errors and problems in printing that may occur in the future, and an explanation of how to solve these problems in general. The teacher was experienced in teaching and with screens, and had a great style. I recommend this place for anyone looking for training.

My partner and I had an absolute blast at the Print Club London workshop! We learned so much - getting hands-on experience really helped us understand the entire screenprinting process. Seeing our own designs come to life on paper with the colours we chose was incredibly satisfying and fun. The studio has a really nice vibe and the people running it were lovely. Highly recommend; we'd love to do it again!

Beginner Screen Printing class for 1 day; a very relaxed time in an authentic artsy environment.

I just completed their life drawing and printing 3 class course and absolutely loved it. The classes were so fun and we left with multiple pieces of art that I love. Thanks so much to Jenny who was an incredible teacher - so helpful, laid back and kind.

I did the Beginners One-Day Intro course at Print Club London with Kim, and it was such a brilliant experience. Kim is an excellent teacher – clear, friendly and full of knowledge. She took us through the whole screenprinting process step by step, and I learnt loads in just a day. The small group size meant we all got plenty of attention and guidance, which made it feel really personal. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed and inspiring, I came away feeling motivated and excited to do more. I also picked up their own in-house published Screenprinting book, which is a great resource and well worth the investment. Overall, a really enjoyable day and a fantastic introduction to screenprinting. I’ll definitely be back for more – highly recommend!

You will never receive a level of customer service as good as the one I received from the Print Club London Marketing & Creative Coordinator, Becks Steel. Following an issue I had encountered with the non-delivery of a print I’d ordered from their (amazing) website, Becks took it upon herself to manage the situation impeccably. This was an issue that had nothing to do with Print Club themselves, however, absolutely nothing was too much trouble, I never had to chase once for updates and Becks managed the entire situation from start to end with incredible professionalism, empathy, care and kindness - and I received my print in the end! Thank you Becks for all of your help and support, your are a credit to Print Club London ☺️

Enjoyed a fabulous beginner's day workshop. Really relaxing, fun and informative. The tutor was really friendly and helpful. The studio has excellent facilities and end results were amazing. It was like magic seeing the image appear at the end of the process. Everyone's prints came out fantastically.

The Print Club London beginners workshop was brilliant! You turn up with your image and learn how to convert it into a screen print, using their graphics suite, screens, uv light box, dark room, printing beds and more. Of course the squeegee print reveal part is the best. I'm delighted with the finished result. You get 8 prints to take home in the colour of your choice. I'm coming back for the follow on workshop in November! Can't wait. Thanks PCL!

I was given a voucher for The Print Club's beginners workshop for Christmas and attended on Saturday the 21 February 2015. I had be itching to try my hand at screenprinting for some time, so I was really looking forward for the opportunity to spend an afternoon in the workshop and design something that was meaningful to me- my colossal expectations mercifully weren't quelled. The workshop ran from 11:00- 16:00 on a Saturday afternoon and we were a group of about ten people. We had three technicians who were very enthusiastic, informed and approachable guiding us through every stage of the printing process - in fact, it transpired that I owned one of their prints! The workshop was spacious and even when we had to cluster into smaller spaces to apply emulsion or expose our prints, we did this in small groups and were never rushed. The technicians clearly instructed us and demonstrated techniques to ensure that even the more unconfident students (i.e. me!) could produce a print that they were delighted with. We prepared our designs in advance and brought the PDF files along on a USB stick- it was exciting the see the variety of designs on the day and each one evolved into an impressive final print. Some were simple hand drawn logos or characters, some were text-based and some were photographs representing various levels of artistic ability. We printed one layer on this workshop, so we had the option of choosing one colour or two (where we could blend them for a graded effect). Most people opted to do a blend because the choice of colours was overwhelming and the end result looked marvelous. We each left with six copies of our print, so this is a great course to get in the diary before Christmas- these make great gifts, especially if your design is personal or meaningful to you in any way. It's a homemade gift that anyone would be thrilled to receive- especially as its from such a limited print run and each one is unique. Honestly, all of my prints look incredible thanks to the help of the technicians and my classmates- I have ordered a frame and I'm so excited to get a copy on my wall so the bragging can commence (apologies to friends in advance). At £50, this workshop is great value and you leave with an example of your own work, so it's extremely gratifying. All materials are provided and just being in the printing environment is inspiring- I was immediately thinking about some more designs. One of the technicians will explain how joining the print club works, where you can access the facilities 24 hours a day and even sell your work on the website. It's good to have a portfolio of ideas ready, as membership costs a monthly rate of £100 and you will need to purchase your own supplies. It would definitely be something I would consider to pursue as a hobby in the future. The beginners workshop was an amazing afternoon spent with a good group of classmates and affable technicians- I felt we got so much from the introductory course and am so thrilled with my final prints. This is a great gift for anyone- nobody will be hindered based on their artistic ability. I can't recommend it enough as a fantastic taster of the world of screenprinting.

I did the Deluxe Evening Beginners course earlier this month and was quite disappointed with it. I did a beginners screen printing course earlier in the year at Sonsoles Print Studio in Peckham Rye which was brilliant and unfortunately the Print Club course didn't match up to it. I took the Print Club course as a bit of a refresher as I hadn't practised printing for some months. This course took place on 3 consecutive evenings where we spent the first evening preparing the artwork on computers and the second/third evenings preparing our screens and printing. The girl taking our course went extremely quickly and didn't repeat things - she gave us each instruction only once and showed us each part of the technique only once and then seemed to expect us to remember it. Also, there were 6 of us in the group and just one tutor which meant that she asked people she'd shown techniques to first to teach the rest of us and she just wasn't around enough to help each of us sufficiently - for 150 quid this wasn't really good enough. On the plus side, it was interesting to see how a different studio operated and to see some of the slight differences in techniques. I learnt a couple of new ways to do things but I would say I left the course far less confident and enthused than I left the Sonsoles course earlier in the year.
