Fun for all ages, kids welcome!
This class will introduce students to the ancient art of silk screen printing. Silk screening is a fun printing technique that students of all ages will thoroughly enjoy. This weekend class will have a mix of woodworking, creating artwork, film-positive transferring and printing. The class will start with making mitered wooden frames with keys and stretching silkscreen onto them to make silkscreen frames. Students will then make artwork on clear film, called a film positive. The film positives can be made by hand with black ink or printed on film using an ink jet printer. The film positive will be used to burn the image into the screen that is primed with a light sensitive photo emulsion. Generally, for every color a dedicated screen is needed, time permitting Adrian will cover multi-color printing basis. With the screen complete and the art burned, it’s time for the ink and the printing process to begin. Students are encouraged to bring artwork ideas in the form of photos, digital images, logos, etc. Artwork needs to be high contrast black and white, no tonal gradients or greys. Students should bring their own cotton T-shirts or card stock to print on, bring more than one! Students can print more than shirts in this class, more examples would be fabric bags, aprons, greeting cards, invitations, paper prints, and even skateboards.
