Event Overview
In this class you will learn the basics of screen printing. We will cover everything you need to know to get started printing on your own. We will cover supplies, tools and set up. You will learn how to use photo sensitive emulsion, and how to coat your screens. We will cover how to prepare your artwork for printing. This class is set up to get you printing on paper or other flat materials. The techniques easily translate to fabric printing if you want to try printing on tee shirts after you learn the basics. We will also learn how to clean and reclaim the screens after the printing is complete. I will demonstrate each step and give everyone a turn at making a print. We will print a poster that explains all the steps so you have a cool looking reference tool to help when printing on your own. This is a fun class that will get you started screen printing. We will be working with inks and emulsion so please dress accordingly just in case it gets a little messy. The class is held in the Capitol Hill neighborhood at Colfax and Logan. There is a public parking lot directly across the street as well as metered street parking. You should leave this class with a clear understanding of the screen printing process and how to set up your own print work station at home.

Marc H.Reviewed on 01/24/17What a great class!! I have always wanted to experiment with screen printing but had no idea where to start. Brendan explained the whole process from start to finish, laying out simple steps with hands on portions the whole way. I left with the confidence to try this at home as well as an instruction sheet that I screen printed myself. It is clear that Brendan cares about his art and his passion carries over into the class. Highly Recommend!!
