Day 2: Intro to Screen Printing with Anne Steen (September 20)

If you already have some screenprinting experience, or you took Day 1 of the Intro class, this is a great day for you! Beginning Screen Print — Day 2 If you already feel comfortable using a squeegee and setting up a press, join us for Day 2 of the Intro Class, when we will learn how to work with photo-sensitive emulsion: How to coat a screen. How to make a stencil for photo-sensitive emulsion. How to burn your design onto the screen. More squeegee technique! How to reclaim a screen. As a beginning class, we will be making stencils by hand. To maximize ink-pulling time, no computer-generated images will be printed. Students are encouraged to approach their image-making with curiosity, flexibility, and teamwork. Together, we’re learning how to do something new! At the end of the day, you will have an understanding of the process of making a screen and pulling ink with your ever-improving squeegee skills. This class will set you up for feeling comfortable working at Open Studio days with some assistance. Class fee includes all materials.
