About this Workshop:
Learn the basics of screenprinting—an artistic, yet economical, method for producing prints from digital or hand-drawn designs. This workshop will prepare you to work independently in the darkroom and studio. You will learn how to prepare images, expose your screen, and print a single color (layer) with water-based inks on paper. Each student will leave with several prints of their own design, along with their very own silkscreen to keep!
Level: Beginner – no experience necessary
Registration EXTENDED to July 11, 2024. Material fees are included with your registration to cover the supplies provided in class.
