About this Workshop:
Don’t let the winter blues get you down—come out for a fun evening to experiment with the split fountain screenprinting technique! In this two-hour workshop, we will learn how to pull smooth blends of multiple colors through the screen in what is known as a split fountain. We will learn techniques to control the blending of colors on the screen, creating gradients of color, as well as ways to invite chance into the printing process.
We’ll provide a variety of ready-to-go designs to allow for plenty of printing time.
Level: Beginner – no experience necessary.
Registration closes February 12, 2026 and all materials are provided.
