Sampler Session: Emulsion Screenprint

For this class, students will create a drawing on frosted Dura-lar with paint markers (positives). Screens are pre-coated with a photosensitive emulsion, and the positives are used to expose an image on the screen. The unexposed emulsion is washed out, leaving the image on the screen. This is the most common form of screenprint, as similar methods are used for commercial screenprinting.
