​

Interested in screen but not sure how what you can do at home with it? In this 5 week course, you’ll receive an introduction to a variety of methods within screenprint including monoprint with watercolours, drawing fluid stencils using embroidery hoops, and emulsion-based silkscreen. Techniques shared are designed to offer participants a range of options to feel confident with equipment. Learn what you need to know about the basic set-up and supplies, various stenciling methods and alternatives, coating and exposing screens, as well as pulling a basic one-layer print. All supplies, including screens to use in class are provided. Students can bring their own drawings ready to expose, or use provided templates to just get the hang of the process. Drawings should not have an image size bigger than 7″ x 10″ and should be black and white only, no tones or shadows.

Perfect for beginners or printmakers who need a refresher. This class offers a slower pace to learn in and experiment compared to our 1-day intensive. Suitable for older teens and adults.

**studio rentals available to folks who have completed this workshop with us as their print experience.

All materials are included with class fee. Students get to take home their drawing fluid stencils as well.

Please note that a mask policy is in effect in our studio, and workshop attendees are requested to wear masks.
