In this workshop, students will learn the basics of the 1-layer screenprinting process. This includes learning how to prepare screens (degreasing, applying emulsion, exposing, and reclaiming) as well as creating transparencies, setting up registration, choosing ink, and printing! All materials will be provided, but students can bring items of fabric to print on. Printing on paper will be the focus of the workshop, but printing on fabrics can discussed for students who are interested.
Please email Rio with a black-and-white PNG of your design that you’d like to print before the workshop takes place. It must fit within an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper.
All materials (other than t-shirts/totes) are provided and all experiences welcomed
Must be 18+
