Screen Printing 2

Screen Printing 2 is the long-awaited “sequel” to our popular class Introduction to Screen Printing! This intermediate class is for anyone who knows how to coat and develop a screen and wants to build on their screen printing skills. Screen printing is a process that can be learned relatively quickly, but it involves a range of variables that influence success. This class will address these variables and push your screen printing to the next level.

We recommend completing Introduction to Screen Printing, or equivalent screen printing experience to make the most of this class. If you are unsure if this class is right for you, please contact our Shop Lead Jarrod at screenprintingshop@artisansasylum.com for more information.

• We will cover graphic design, transparency printing, dark room technique, print registration, printing in layers, pulling prints in large editions, printing on fabric, heat setting ink, screen reclaiming and more.
• Small class size allows our instructor to tailor the class to the specific needs of each student.
• The content of each class will vary based on student input and this class is a different experience each session.
• Our instructor will contact you prior to class to determine the specifics of what you want to learn.
• We will cover fundamental concepts, while also addressing the unique printing challenges faced by each student.
