About this Workshop:
Ready to move beyond a one-color screenprint? In this silkscreen workshop, you will learn to design and register multi-layer prints. You will use overlapping layers to expand the color range of a print and continue to explore screenprint’s creative possibilities. (Note: This class was previously title Screenprinting 102.)
Level: Intermediate—Introduction to Screenprinting on Paper (previously titled Screenprinting 101), a 6-hour workshop, or similar screenprinting experience is required.
Registration extended through March 4, 2022. Material fees are included with your registration, though a small list of additional items needed will be sent with your confirmation.

CLASS MATERIALS LIST:
Registration includes a $50 materials fee to cover consumable materials, including a new screen for you to take home to continue experimenting with multi-color layerings. In addition, students will need to bring the following items:
- Personal silkscreen – this is in addition to the one included with material fees (you’ll need two for class). If you don’t have a second screen, Pyramid can loan one for class use
- Personal apron, or wear clothes that can get a bit messy
- Pencil and paper (if you want to take notes)
- High contrast, black and white images to work with (more specific details will be provided by the instructor)
