Screen Printing 101 • Session 2 of 3

To register for this series, please view Screen Printing 101 • Session 1 of 3.

Overview:

Bloomington Fine Art Supply and Hideout Press are joining forces to bring you a beginner-friendly (ages 16+) intro to screen printing!

• Cost of admission includes all three sessions and all supplies. Additionally, you'll have access to private shopping on each class day and receive 10% off any purchases made while on-site for all sessions.

Session 1 (Sun. 8/11): Instructors Rachael and Jon Keown will introduce you to the screen printing process through hands-on demonstrations of screen prep, the exposure process, flooding the screen, and image transfer techniques. Additionally, the group will explore and begin developing imagery for their individual print designs with guidance from Rachael and Jon.

Session 2 (Sun. 8/18): The group will finalize their artwork and prep the imagery for transfer to screens. Next, each group member will have a role in helping the class function as its own micro-print shop: each guest having an opportunity to pull a print (designed by Hideout Press exclusively for this class!) and assist with the various steps of the printing process as the entire group moves through.

Session 3 (Sun. 8/25): T-shirt printing day! With oversight from Rachael and Jon, you'll apply the techniques and skills you've gained over the course of the previous weeks and have your own design on a t-shirt to prove it!

Throughout this series, participants will play an active role in the image-transfer process and gain firsthand experience with all tools and materials. You will gain a working understanding of silk screen printing and take home your own creations to enjoy!
