Darktown Print Workshop with Jonny Hannah - 2 day course - Sat 25th & Sun 26th July 2026
Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th July 2026
10am - 4pm (both days)
The Darktown Print Workshop
Illustrator & printmaker Jonny Hannah is returning to Handprinted for another weekend of creativity, Darktown style.
Screen printing, then overprinting, & adding extra ingredients into the mix, will be par for the course, over your two days. Using different papers, contrasting colours & layering for instant depth & visual excitement. Text & image will collide with each other, in harmony, or organised chaos, it’s up to you. As Jonny often likes to say… Charlie Parker it!
But by the end of it, you will each be asked to create a loose edition (differentiations are allowed in Darktown), which will then be collated into a portfolio of prints, that you can all take home with you.
About the tutor:
Jonny Hannah is an illustrator & printmaker.
He studied Illustration at The Cowdenbeath College of Knowledge, Liverpool Art School & The Royal College of Art. Since 1998, he has been a freelance Illustrator, working for a huge variety of clients, including Royal Mail stamps, Penguin Books, Domino Records & The St. Kilda Courier.
He collaborated with the celebrated animator Jonathan Hodgson on a short film for Channel 4 TV, called ‘The Man with the Beautiful Eyes’, which went on to win numerous awards, including the animation BAFTA in 2000.
In his few spare moments, he can often be found in the Cakes & Ale Press HQ, a shed in his Shirley garden. There, he paints, makes books, designs poster & generally makes a mess. His various exhibitions over the years & years have included ‘Main Street’ at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2015, & ‘Northumberland Folk’ - four (that’s right, four) exhibitions across museums in the North-East, including Woodhorn Museum, just as we crept out of out lockdowns in 2021.
He is represented by the Heart Agency in London & New York, & is currently working on a new commission exploring & celebrating the fair town of Hartlepool, where he is conscious that dressing like a French sailor, as he often does, may cause problems…
All of our workshops take place in our Handprinted Studio, 22 Arun Business Park, Shripney Road, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, PO22 9SX.
