Interested in expanding your screen printing skills past the basics? Learn how to make a three color print with only two layers!!
Students in Intermediate Screen will create hand drawn transparencies, coat a screen, operate our exposure unit, and work independently in our studio. They will learn how to make complex layered images, utilize different registration methods, and create multi-colored, multi-layered prints through the use of overlap and transparency.
All workshop materials are provided.
This class is open to students who have already taken Intro to Screen or have a working knowledge of the basics of screen printing.
