CLASS MATERIALS LIST:
At registration, students will receive the full materials list (with any helpful links) to purchase supplies. The list includes:
- Screen: Any screen will do, with any mesh count. We will be working relatively small, so if you have a smaller screen, that means less to tape up.
- Squeegee: Should fit inside your screen, ideally around 6-8″, but can be smaller or larger
- Blue Painter’s Tape
- Acrylic paint (your choice of colors) and/or Screenprinting inks (your choice of colors)
- Transparent base, small jar
- Paintbrushes, assorted sizes
- Paper to print on (at least 10-15 sheets) – we recommend something a little sturdier than copy paper, like bristol, but any will do as you practice the techniques.
- Empty container(s) with lids to put leftover mixed inks
- Rags/water to clean as needed
- Scrap paper or newsprint
