  • 5/5 from Donna Hanson, attended May 2026: Excellent event. We went through the whole process of screen printing in 3 hours from coming up with a sketch of an idea, creating a reusuable stencil and screenprinting on fabric and various grades of paper. Chloe is an accomplished teacher, really easy to follow and generous with the refreshments! I left with my creations and opted to take a fresh screen for further experiementation at home.
  • 5/5 from Evita Ziemele, attended Apr 2026: Really informative session, the teacher explained everything really well! The set up was super professional, and it was a really fun experience overall :)
  • 5/5 from Mo Mo, attended Apr 2026: Chloë was a wonderful instructor and class host - made the workshop from start to finish easy to follow, was reassuring throughout the process and gave us great advice and tips with those wanting to explore screen-printing more in depth. Even though the session was for 2.5 hours, it went by fairly quickly as we were getting stuck in and having fun! I didn't feel rushed and I was really happy with my end result for a first!

I had so much fun at this workshop and feel ready to apply the skills I've learned in further practice! I'd highly reccomend any of Chloë's classes. The atmosphere was very relaxed and I learnt so much about screenprinting and its applications. Thankyou Chloë for a lovely workshop!
