What the course will cover:

In this course, you will learn the technique of silk screen monoprinting, which involves painting directly onto a mesh screen to produce painterly results on paper. We'll explore the creative possibilities of color overlays.

You will prepare images using various drawing tools, and learn how to edit and transfer those images onto screens in preparation for printing.

The course covers screen printing in both single and multiple colors, applicable to both paper and fabric. You will also have the opportunity to create repeat patterns using your own designs, which you will transfer onto screens.

We will engage in one-on-one target setting as well as group feedback sessions.

By the end of this course, you will have developed a refined skill set that prepares you for more advanced screen printing techniques.
