Screen Printing

In this beginner surface design workshop, we will explore low tech processes in getting your design on a screen and ready to print!

Screen printing can be a precise and professional looking tee shirt, or it can be an original mono-print art piece. In this workshop we will explore the in-between and learn the fundamentals to pulling a clean image onto fabric and paper. In this workshop we will talk about the ways to get your image on a screen to make small batch prints without the use of chemicals or a dark room!

Each student will be provided supplies to create their own design as a stencil and share class supplies to walk away with some original prints. Please complete our workshop contact form to request more information.
