This three day workshop is for students to learn the basic skills for prepping a design to be screen printed in multiples on a variety of surfaces including, fabric, clothing, or all the above. This workshop aims to create a work space that allows participants to create a design using two screen printing methods, screen filler (more painterly) and paper stencils (strong lines bold shapes) or combining the two techniques. Come with designs and we will make some magic again and again and again!
