2024 Summer Workshops
This workshop is part of our Master Printer Series.
In this screen printing workshop we will investigate a variety of approaches for printing original silkscreen images. Techniques include hand-cut stencils, direct drawing and painting, and photo-silkscreen methods. Silkscreen is a favorite of artists and DIYers because it can be combined with other media and can be printed permanently on almost any smooth surface without a press. Best of all silkscreen is newly “green”, so we will be using water based inks and non-toxic materials. Print on paper, fabric, wood, vinyl, etc. Learn a variety of ways to create an image on a screen and learn methods for multiple color registration. Simple enough for beginners, and lots of applications for the artist. Come with a project in mind or experiment with all the techniques. You can use all of our materials or bring your own screens so you can take them home with you to use again.
Ten sheets of white BFK Rives (22×30 inches) will be provided as part of the materials fee. Additional sheets may be purchased from the Work Center at $5 per sheet.
