Online 1-1 course & Kit
Online 1-1 course & Kit
I am excited to offer this bespoke 1-1 online course available world wide. Students have sucessfully taken this course from the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Wherever you are in the world I can help you with screen printing on glass.
This course is designed to be flexible and convenient for you. You can activate the course whenever you are ready by sending me your images for printing. I will then schedule a 1-1 Zoom call with you at a time that works for you. The course mainly focuses on printing traditional kiln fired stained glass paints and enamels onto glass but I’m happy to adapt if you're looking to print and fuse or print with glass powders.
The course includes a complete kit for screen printing your own images on glass, as well as 1-1 Zoom calls with me to guide you through the process. You will also have access to a range of in-depth videos showing you the completed process of screen printing on glass using photosensitive emulsion.
When you sign up, I will sent you information to help you select some good images for printing on glass.. Once you have chosen your images, we will schedule a Zoom call to prepare your images together. You will have space on your screen for a 40cm x 28cm image, which can be used for one large image or divided into four smaller images.
During our hour-long Zoom call, I will demonstrate the process of image preparation using your images in Photoshop. After the call, you will receive access to my videos showing you how to use your equipment to achieve great results. I’ve taken allot of time to test and research good quality materials and provide the perfect equipment for screen printing on glass. Your pack will then be shipped, including a brand new quality aluminum-framed screen with your images burnt on and ready to print, as well as everything else you need to get started.
What’s in the Kit?
High quality aluminium framed silk screen, yellow mesh 77T 24” x 20’’ which will have your image stencils burnt on it using photosensitive emulsion. This screen will hold and image ups up to 40cm x 28cm image but most students split this into 4 x images 20 cm x 14cm so you can try a variety of styles.
Ready mixed stained glass paint and screen printing medium
One pair of screen printing hinge clamps
High quality 9” aluminium handled squeegee with sharp edged blade. Perfect tuned for glass printing.
Palette knife
A3 clear transparency for your registration print
A large roll of low tac screen printing tape
Hardwood wedge for easily adjusting the height of the snap.
Access codes to my screen printing on glass videos taking you through the process step by step
Ongoing support post course is offered free of charge via Facebook to a private glass print community page where you can also share your results with peers.
Please note that you will need to find a workbench or a 40cm x 50cm board to screw your screen printing hinges to. You will need a glass grinder to smooth the edges of your glass ready for printing but if you don’t have one I can include some ready prepped glass in the kit for you at no extra charge.
Over the next eight weeks (if you need longer no problem) you will have access to my step-by-step videos, where I share with you my many years of printing on glass experience.
Finally there is a a second one-to-one Zoom session, where we can discuss your work and any questions you may have. If you prefer, this can also be a group session where you can see and hear about the work made by your peers. Throughout the course, you will have access to a community of your peers in a private Facebook group where you can exchange ideas.
