Ready to explore the world of screen printing? This Introduction to Screen Printing class is the perfect way to dive into this dynamic art form! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create stunning, multi-layered prints from start to finish, gaining the skills to bring your designs to life on paper.
We’ll walk through every step of the process, starting with preparing your screen and moving through the essential techniques—like mixing inks, pulling prints with a squeegee, and mastering the art of layering. You’ll explore a variety of stencil-making methods, from cut paper to hand-drawn designs to digital transparencies, and learn how to combine these techniques to create bold, expressive prints.
By the end of the class, you’ll have completed a series of beautiful prints, with the chance to participate in a group print exchange. This fun final activity lets you swap prints with fellow participants, so you’ll leave with a unique print from each class member, celebrating the creative community you’ve built.
