This workshop is designed for beginner printmakers wanting to learn the foundations of screen printing. Participants will explore the fundamentals of this versatile stencil making process using both drawn and digital subjects.

The workshop will begin with the basics of photographic screen making, with the majority of the workshop focusing on reductive and hand painted stencil techniques. Using a direct to screen reductive painting, participants will build the coordination, confidence, and muscle memory it takes to print successfully, and will create a complex image using basic foundational techniques.

At the end of the three class sessions, participants will have a solid understanding of how to plan subject matter and expose screens, and will have practiced registration, printing, and reclaiming screens.
