Students will learn basic screen-printing techniques in a fast-paced environment, printing a 3 color screen-print by the end of the workshop titled “Fruity Patootie”. This course is similar to a baking show in that students will see the process from start to finish however some steps will be prepared ahead of time to allow for ample time to print. The first part of the workshop will be spent learning the preparation process that comes with screen-printing. The second half of the workshop will be spent printing your design! This workshop will include all things needed to print a single 4 color print on Stonehenge cream paper. Although paper will be provided by the instructor, students are encouraged to bring additional printing materials to print on such as fabric, t-shirts, colored paper, or basically any flat surface medium. The Workshop is $60 per student and will last from 6:00 - 9:00 PM on August 30th, with a short break halfway through.
