Workshop "Screen Printing"
Screen printing is a printmaking technique basing on the
principle of the stencil. It allows many ways of creative printing, also
without photo exposure or big equipment.
This class teaches screen printing from the scratch.
After a general introduction, first small-size works are printed with
a simple device, the screen-flag, followed by working
in bigger size, by cutting and tearing stencils. We then
will use a self-made, non-toxic screen filler, either
by painting directly onto the screen (negative) or in combination with
a water-soluble ink (positive). Afterwards we will work with the photo
stencil. Interested participants can print on textiles too, or
create monotypes.
The class includes information on how to build up a simple
studio with a non-uv exposure unit. The participants receive a script
including formulas how to prepare your own water-based ink and screen
filler.
The workshop is suitable for beginners to professional
printmakers.
