Screen Printing Fundamentals

Sundays September 15 + 22
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Instructor: Erin MacKeen

Materials Fee: $30 (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.

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.

All materials will be provided to get you started and then
additional yardage or pre-made fabric items must be obtained 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.
