What you'll learn in this screen printing workshop:
This 4-hour course offers a hands-on introduction to the world of screen printing, guiding you through every step of the process as you create your own poster design in our studio-gallery. Whether you're a beginner or looking to expand your skills, you'll learn the fundamentals of screen printing—from setting up equipment to achieving your final print.
Throughout the class, we’ll teach you the techniques needed to print projects at home or in your own studio. You’ll have the opportunity to choose from a selection of six designs to print on 19 x 25 inch 80lb French paper, or feel free to bring your own items, such as tote bags, shirts, fabric, or paper, to print on.
