Frriday, October 18, 6-9pm
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 extended to October 15, 2024 and all materials are provided.
Registration includes all materials—just come ready to have fun! In addition, you may want to bring the following optional items for class:
