On Saturday 8th August, East London Printmakers will be a part of Visions Festival. Visions is a one day celebration of music, art, food and culture which is based across various sites in Hackney. East London Printmakers is offering Visions festival goers the opportunity to visit the ELP studio and gain an insight into the world of print.
East London Printmakers’ designers Narcsville & Pat Lunch will be running a class teaching you how to screen print. Here you’ll print special Visions artwork created with designers Heretic, Le Gun and Personality Crisis. The print will be on t shirts or paper depending on the slot chosen.
