Screen Printing Fundamentals (3-Day)
Sundays May 25, June 1 + 8
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Instructor: Erin MacKeen
Materials Fee: $40 (paid to Instructor)
Students: 6
This workshop covers the basics of screen printing including various techniques for designing a screen and approaches to printing on textiles. We will explore both digital designs (using printed acetates to create images) as well as handmade approaches such as paper cutting, stencils, drawing, and found objects to create your own set of screens. We will also make small-scale frameless screens for patch printing.
Students will be given lots of time to practice printing and use their screens to work on a project of their choosing from start to finish. This four-week version of the workshop also gives students ample time to work on additional projects and explore other methods.
All materials will be provided to get you started and then
additional yardage or pre-made fabric items will be provided by each student depending on their interests.
If you already have experience screen printing, this workshop can also be used to refresh your skills or work on a project with technical assistance. Once this workshop is completed, participants can access our Studio Open Sessions program to continue printing.

Erin is an artist, designer, and professional tarot reader who’s integrated practice is an exploration of care: how we collectively tend to each other, become better resourced, share tools for self-discovery, and cultivate the safety and support needed to be our authentic selves. She teaches various screen printing workshops and is also the Studio Coordinator.
Using digital illustration and natural specimens for image-making, Erin’s work is screen printed on textiles as a foundational pattern for further handwork such as embroidery and beading. These works are both decorative and “useable” objects that explore ideas of death, rest, and nature as a form of care. Erin is currently experimenting and researching natural dyeing, sculpture, and knitting as additional medias and practices in her work. www.erinmackeen.com
