16th May - Nature-Inspired Screen Printing with Gail Bryson
Saturday 16th May
10am - 2pm
Your ticket includes lunch from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop, a snack and unlimited tea and coffee.
Design and screen print your own artwork alongside expert designer and printer, Gail Bryson. Gail will take you through the steps of creating your design, talking you through the printing process and finally helping you print your own pieces.
What will you learn?
You will learn about stencilling, screen printing and how to translate your ideas into a design. You will then learn to choose your colour, and to screen print your design. Gail is an expert, so you can also pick her brains throughout the workshop!
About the day in Gail’s words:
“We will start the session with a brief introduction into the process of screen printing, where I will show a few examples and talk about my experience. We’ll take inspiration from the plants and nature around the Walled Garden. Everyone will then create their own design and make paper stencils of their design to use for printing. At the end of the session everyone will print their own beautiful artwork.”
No experience necessary!

About Gail Bryson
Gail Bryson is a textile, graphic and product designer. She specialises in simple and graphic prints that complement a wide range of home styles.
Trained at Edinburgh College of Art, she developed her design skills at The Conran Shop and The Nest before subsequently becoming co-founder and creative director of Bryson Loxley. Amongst her clients there are John Lewis and Jamie Oliver. She has also collaborated individually with other small independent businesses on a wide range of projects over the years.
Gail is a firm believer that good design will always last the test of time. Her products are designed to last both in design and manufacture, and are mainly all hand-printed and hand-sewn in London. Ultimately, her aim is to create things that can passed down through the generations, like the collection of linen she has inherited from her own family.
Colour also plays a big part in Gail’s work. Combinations are dreamed up from photographs taken on her travels and provide inspiration back in her studio.
