About this Workshop:
So you’ve taken a screenprinting workshop (or a few) and have all the skills you need to create your own, unique prints. But … how do you actually get started?
Join us for a hands-on screenprinting demo exploring the creative possibilities of taking the seed of an idea and pushing it to a realized design. Renowned serigraph and mixed media artist Carlos Hernandez will present his personal approach to the creation process, from concept and ideation to final production prints. Students will have a chance to see the design come to life as they pull their own commemorative posters (designed by Hernandez!) at the culmination of the event.
Level: Beginner/Intermediate—Introduction to Screenprinting or similar experience (6 hours plus) is recommended. Participants should feel comfortable pulling a print.
Registration closes October 10, 2024 and all materials are provided.
