Intro to Screen Printing:

For this initial class we teach a one-color, water-soluble ink process good for fabric or paper printing that is fun and easy to learn and also fun and easy to clean up. One-color printing with water-soluble ink on a Single station press. You will learn the fundamentals to any exploration into the myriad possibilities that screenprinting has to offer.

- tips for designing
and choosing artwork
- what you should know about inks
- mixing colors and ink additives
- registration/crossmarks
- paper vs fabric printing

Class Cost

$155 to be paid at end of class.

Students will receive a screen, a squeegee, a set of hinge clamps, and a packaged assortment of water-soluble inks to take home.

At this time I only accept cash, check or PayPal.
Thank you.

What you'll need to bring for the Intro Class:

1) A single color image you'd like to print. Which then needs to be converted to a black and white image and printed on two (2) transparency sheets works best. Also artwork cannot be bigger than 15"x18" in size.

Please email me your Art Work at the time of Pre-Registration, so that we can make sure it is print ready. And to prepare the Color Separations for the Advanced portion of the Workshop.

If you need transparencies printed we charge $4 for this service.
If you need image prep/design help above and beyond our basics then we charge a per half-hour flat fee of $25.

2) Material to print on. Natural fiber clothing ie cotton t-shirts and canvas work very well. Also for paper screenprinting we recommend an acid-free paper such as Arches 88, Lenox 100, etc. If you are looking for inexpensive sources for printing materials we recommend Gen X and JoAnn Fabrics and ArtMedia and Columbia Art & Drafting Supply.

 

If you have any other questions
please don't hesitate to email me.
