SNAP Introductory workshops

Snap is pleased to open its doors to offer courses in screen-printing and bookbinding.

Read on to find out more about what we offer, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate contacting us, by phone, email or visit the shop where you will always meet one of SNAP’s 8 artist members. Screen-printing workshops with various SNAP printmakers Workshops provide participants with an introduction to screen-printingincluding an understanding of both the technical and the creative aspects of the process. SNAP runs these workshops in two formats: 1 day (six hours) and 2 day (3 hours per day). By working with any one of the different artists at SNAP, you will be shown various ways to work with your own designs and drawings, or to use printmaking as a creative process in itself, to produce unique artworks for you to take away with you at the end of the day. By taking a look at artworks in the gallery as examples, our artists will be able to show you a variety of methods to replicate your ideas in print form, using mark making, drawing and pattern, text and photography to build images in several colours.

(3 spaces available per workshop)

An Introduction to Non-Adhesive Bookbinding

This is a perfect introduction to bookbinding with Bristol based printmaker and book artist Tortie Rye. By working simply with basic stitches and folding, you will come away from this intensive beginners’ course with a number of binding skills under your belt, not to mention a nice bundle of colourful note books all made by you during the day. Some of the soft cover binding forms will include variations on simple pamphlet stitches, concertina structures, Japanese stab bindings, French sewn books and an open spine buttonhole book. Specialist bookbinding tools will be available to use, so just come along with nimble fingers and a little bit of patience on this very satisfying day. Paper, tools and materials are provided, as is the all important fuel for the day: tea and cake.

Seasonal Workshops

How about printing your own Christmas cards with some friends? Along with some festive fuel in the form of sherry and mince pies, this workshop will get you in the mood for Christmas, at the same time as producing some very special cards to send to your loved ones. Think of a date and we will try our best to fit you in.

Are the screen-printing workshops for you?

Introductory workshops are, well, introductory. Our aim is to teach you the basics of screen-printing and give you the opportunity to have a go at printing something for yourself. If you already have experience screen-printing and just want to use the facilities these workshops are probably not for you. We are hoping to offer more advanced workshops, or even open access time in the near future, so stay tuned!

Are the bookbinding workshops for you?

Bookbinding workshops are similarly introductory. If you are looking to restore old books, then this course will not be for you, as the focus is on making new books rather than conserving old ones. These classes will teach you a number of stitches and book structure techniques, to enable you to make your own books from scratch.

Equipment and materials

SNAP will provide you with everything you need for your workshop, and basic material costs are included in the workshop fee. If you wish to bring alternative papers to print onto, you are more than welcome to do so. If you are required to bring anything specific to a particular workshop the artist running the course will contact you in advance to give you details. SNAP will provide aprons to wear when printing, but you may wish to bring your own if you prefer. Please wear clothing suitable for printing in- as inks are water-based, but we cannot guarantee that they will wash out of clothing.

Refreshments

SNAP will provide you with regular refreshments, including tea and coffee during your workshop. If you are attending a one-day workshop, please bring along some lunch, which you are more than welcome to eat at SNAP. Alternatively there are a number of cafes and sandwich shops near SNAP, for eating in, or take away lunches.

Contact with the artist

In order that SNAP, or the artist taking the workshop can send you any necessary information in advance of the workshop, please ensure you provide us with an email address and phone number. The artist taking the course may well be in touch with you the week before the class takes place, to let you know any important details, or simply as a reminder that the class is soon approaching.

Workshop prices and payments

One day and 2x evening workshops are all £60, unless specified on the workshop details.

The full cost of the workshop is payable upon booking, and payments can be made in the shop, by cash, cheque or credit/debit card, over the phone using a credit/debit card, or you can send us a cheque, payable to SNAP Studio Ltd. Please note that your place on the course is only secured once payment has been made. Due to the high interest, and limited spaces available in each workshop, we cannot reserve places before we receive payment.

Concessions

SNAP is able to offer a concessionary rate to Students who provide a current NUS card at the time of booking. The concessionary workshop fee is £45, and will only be available upon providing student ID.

Other price reductions
SNAP would like to encourage you to interest others in the courses at SNAP, and offers you £15 off your fee if you get two others to book onto a workshop with you- a reduction which you can use yourself, or share amongst the three of you… the choice is yours!

Children’s workshops

SNAP regrets it is unable to provide workshops for groups of unaccompanied children. If you would like to discuss the option of bringing a child as part of a group with adults, or the option of a children’s screenprinting party at your home, please get in touch. Prices may vary, as this option will be different to the scheduled workshops.

Cancellation

If SNAP needs to cancel…
SNAP reserves the right to cancel a workshop, but will give you as much prior notice as possible. Please ensure you leave us with an email address and a telephone number when you book, which we may contact you on in the event that a class has to be cancelled. In the case of the artist running the course being ill, we will endeavour to run the course with another artist if possible, but if this cannot be arranged at short notice, then SNAP will either refund your workshop fee, or happily transfer your booking to another date convenient to you. Please note that we will always do our best to ensure that workshops run as scheduled, however there are sometimes situations that mean it is not possible for a course to go ahead, or that if there are not enough people booked onto the course for it to be viable, alternative arrangements may have to be made.

If you need to cancel…
In the event that you find you cannot make the date of the workshop, please contact us as soon as possible, by telephone or email. In order to receive a full refund on a course, or to move your booking to another date, SNAP must receive notice of your cancellation at least 7 days before the date of the course. Cancellations made within 7 days of the course date will be liable to a £20 deduction from the booking fee. You will be refunded £40, (or £25 concessions.) If you cancel up to 24 hours before the start of the class, SNAP is unable to refund all or part of your fee, but it may be possible for you to transfer your booking to another date. Transferring your booking to another date is at the discretion of SNAP. Please ensure you inform us if you cannot attend a workshop BEFORE the date of the workshop, as no refunds or transfers to other workshop dates can be arranged after the date of the class you were booked on.
