In this class you will learn several different approaches to getting your image on a screen and set up to make prints. First we will cover some history of the medium and then go into detail about the different materials you need to print. We then cover four different ways to make a stencil. Two with emulsion and two without. Students will pick one method to make their screen and then move on to the printing and registration methods. Again, i will show you 3 different registration techniques and students will pick one. By learning different ways to screen print, you will see the versatility of the process and just how many things can be printed with a screen.
