Screen-printing is an easy and versatile print technique for quickly making multiples for craft or fine art. You will learn hand-drawn and photo stencil processes, how to mix ink colors, how to break down an image into stencil layers, and how to pull a clean print on paper or t-shirts. By the end of the semester you should be able to take home a multi-colored edition to be proud of.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS COURSE
1. Students will be able to prepare images on screens using adhesive stencils, filler stencils, and photo stencils
2. Students will be able to break down an image into color layers and mix opaque or transparent inks for printing.
3. Students will be able to set up an efficient print station, print a clean edition, and work productively in a shared studio space.
