Intro to Screen Printing: Emulsion

OVERVIEW

This hands on workshop will explain the screen printing process in detail so that you can add this versatile medium to your creative arsenal. Individuals will learn the fundamentals of screen printing and image creation while printing with water based ink using a table press.

Students will be printing on paper ONLY and are encouraged to take our intermediate class to learn how to print on T-shirts. Imagery appropriate for this class includes: photography, graphic art, handmade illustration, or a combination of the two.

HOMEWORK BEFORE CLASS:

Students must send in preferred image they would like to screen print atleast 3 days before the class so our instructor can digitize it accordingly for screen printing. Instruction of this process will be covered in class.
