Screen Printing Basics

Learn a couple different screen printing techniques. We’ll provide everything needed for this workshop.

Screen printing: From DIY Fashion to Fine Art

Screen printing can feel like absolute magic! Join Lyndi Perry as she introduces screen printing basics with two projects for the price of one workshop.

The first project uses low-cost, home-made techniques to produce a simple, single color screen print that DIY punk rock and garage bands have used since the beginning of the movement. We’ll supply bananas to practice but it would be a great opportunity to print band merch, family reunion tees, or matching “brunch bunch” sweaters for the whole gang.

Then, with Andy Warhol as the inspiration, we’ll use a photoemulsion process to create a more permanent, photographic-based screen that can be used to create fine art prints on paper. Once the screen is cured, you’ll have time to play with some layers and then take the screen home, alongside some leftover supplies, to practice different ways of creating prints at home.
