What was the teacher like? Carizza was an expert in screen printing and was a very patient teacher. She explained and demonstrated the whole process in a way that was easy to understand and by the end of the class we had all made beautiful prints of our own. She was really good at managing expectations upfront, letting us know that it does take time and we'd only get to the "doing" a few hours into the class but time went by so quickly. I'd highly recommend bringing some snacks and something to drink for during the class, also definitely have lunch before you go.
How was the venue? The venue was very cool, a nice big, open space, perfect for getting messy & creating things. It was a cool day when we went but I think it would get quite hot in summer so dress accordingly.
If materials were provided, did you like them? The materials were great, we got to choose 1 product to print on (Tshirt, tote bag, Tea towel, Sample bags) and you could purchase extra if you wanted OR better yet be prepared and bring some items with you to print on!
Was the class good value for money? Absolutely!
What did you do / learn? We learnt how to paint the mesh screens with developing fluid, how to dry them, how to transfer your artwork/design onto the screen by exposing it to light, how to print the design onto a product.

What was the teacher like? Sally is so lovely, she explained and demonstrated the techniques so well and loved how she explained the therapeutic benefits of painting and how it affects the different parts of the brain
How was the venue? So easy to get to, a short walk from redfern station. Nice venue, a bit chilly in winter so bring something warm to wear. There was also a tea and coffee station but there wasn't any milk so I had a herbal tea instead. Should have grabbed a coffee from the cafe near the station on my way in!
If materials were provided, did you like them? The quality of the materials provided were amazing.
Was the class good value for money? Yes, absolutely
What did you do / learn? We learnt how to sketch a still life object, then how to turn the sketch into a template you can paint over with watercolour, lots of different water colour techniques and got to paint some scenes. Loved that we didn't have to stop at 1pm on the dot and could stay and carry on painting.
