Buckle in and get ready to find out how to create a multi-layered screenprint from start to finish! In this course, you will learn how to think in layers, mix colors, coat and expose a screen, and how to edition on paper. This class is great for beginners or participants looking to hone their skills and work time in a professional printmaking studio. Students will learn using high-quality equipment and materials.
This class will start with a screen monoprint demonstration to get the hang of pulling a squeegee as well as clean up. Throughout the following weeks, we will then transition into cut paper/hand drawn/and digital transparencies to learn different ways of exposing your screen, as well as how screen inks work together to create a finished print. Expect to create a 2-3 color edition of prints on paper for your final project with a maximum image size of 11” x 17”.*
*All materials are included in the class fee.
**If you are interested in printing on textiles, we can discuss this during class; textiles not provided.
