Screen Printing Projects | CPR 057-W27

This new year, learn a new skill! In this class, you will learn how to screen print your own custom designs from start to finish. Over the course of six weeks, you will print multi color and layered designs, print on fabric apparel/clothing, and learn how to set up your own screen printing process at home. There will be structured projects as a guide for students who like prompts and inspiration, but the class is open to students of all skill levels so there will be plenty of time and studio access to those who have a project they’d like to pursue!

With our class spanning over February 14th, this course is a great opportunity to print handmade Valentines for your loved ones. Other possible projects include: posters, zines, t-shirts, patches, totes, bandanas, garlands… the possibilities are endless :)

Basic supplies for class projects are provided, but you are welcome to bring in personal fabric and/or paper materials if you'd like! Please bring a sketchbook + drawing materials for the first class.
