About this Workshop:
Let’s Screenprint!
Join us for 4 days of inky fun! Students will learn all about the art of screenprinting for both paper and fabric design. We’ll explore different techniques for image creation and practical tips for color and registration, all while learning how to use the tools and equipment of Pyramid’s Screenprinting Studio and Darkroom. Students will design and print their own small edition of either t-shirts or posters.
At the end of the workshop, students will have a basic understanding of how to properly use the equipment and operate in a functioning community print studio. Students will also have the opportunity to learn more about becoming certified and using the studio independently beyond the class.
Registration closes March 15, 2024 and includes all necessary materials. Students are responsible for providing their own lunch. Additional details and options will be provided at registration.
Please Note: This is a skills-building class, with each day expanding on what was learned the day before. Our class capacity is limited to ensure everyone has ample one-on-one time with the instructor. Please be sure you can commit to the full 4-day workshop. If you have questions, please let us know!
