This class is designed to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the screen-printing process through hands on demonstrations, lectures, and group discussions.
The course will cover digital separations in Photoshop, working with photo-emulsion, and paper and fabric printing techniques. Students are encouraged to develop and complete individual projects throughout the workshop. The first half of the workshop will focus on multi-color editions on paper using water-based inks. After working with paper, participants may explore printing onto fabric.
Students should have some experience with Adobe Photoshop. Enrollment is limited to 7 students.
