About the event
In this series, you will learn the basics of screen printing from art design to printing your very own garment!
In part one, you will learn how to create artwork suitable for printing and the process for getting your artwork onto a screen. Discover how to use free resources to create your design, regardless of artistic ability you will be able to make a design you’ll love! Learn how to take your artwork from computer to a physical screen through printing on transparent paper before burning the design into the screen. Lastly, learn what goes into preparing screens to hold artwork for printing.
You’ll go home with homework of buying the garment you want to print on for the next class. If time allows, we will work together to coat new screens in emulsion for later use.
