Event Overview
Heavy Gel is a community print shop, open to other print makers to use on an appointment basis, or monthly membership. This introductory class serves as an orientation to our studio, so you can learn how to print, and are then welcome to come back and use the studio to work on more projects!
The studio will provide all the tools and equipment needed to print. Students will need to bring whatever materials they’d like to print on (paper, t shirts, wood, fabric, etc..). Students will also get to choose the image they’d like to print! These can be photos, drawings, or paper cutouts. Images should be black and white or greyscale. Paper cutouts can be on any color, but must be at least as thick as cardstock (not see through when you hold it up to the light) Please e-mail images to info@heavygel.com prior to the class.
We will go over how to prep your images for silkscreening. Computer literacy is not required!
Wear clothes that can get inky ;D
