Screenprint Lettering with Adam Bridgland
Spend a Saturday creating vibrant mono-prints as the perfect festive gifts in this small, hands-on workshop, with a chance to look inside 186 Gwydir Street after the session.
Led by artist-printmaker Adam Bridgland, this beginner-friendly workshop explores screen print mono-printing through colour, pattern and mark-making. You’ll use simple tools and processes to paint and pull your own expressive prints, creating a series of bold, one-off artworks.
Inspired by his distinctive text-based artworks, Adam Bridgland leads a hands-on workshop and invites participants to explore language, poetry, and printmaking. Beginning with the creation of their own poetic words and phrases, participants will develop a personal text that reflects their ideas, experiences, or imagination.
Using hand-cut paper stencils and the screen-printing process, each participant will transform their text into a striking printed artwork. Working with a choice of vibrant inks or glitter finishes, everyone will produce a one-of-a-kind print to take home. The workshop encourages experimentation, creativity, and self-expression, offering an accessible introduction to screen printing while celebrating the power of words as visual art.

About Mono-printing
Mono-printing is a playful and immediate form of printmaking, where each print is a one-off. This workshop encourages experimentation with colour, texture and composition, embracing spontaneity and chance. Through simple processes and repetition, you’ll build up a body of work that is bold, expressive and entirely your own.
About Adam Bridgland
Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2006, Adam Bridgland has worked across a range of materials and processes to explore distinctly British themes with wit and clarity. His work often reflects on nostalgia and the passing of time, drawing on memories of seaside holidays, backpacking trips and traditional tours.
Alongside this runs a playful visual language inspired by children’s colouring books, paint-by-numbers kits, transport posters and kitsch postcards. Using richly applied primary colours, Adam elevates these everyday references into carefully composed, emblematic works.
