In this class, we will go through the entire screen printing process, from start to finish, using a transparency film carving method instead of photo emulsion. We will begin by creating a design—I'll have some pre-made designs for you to choose from, but you’re also welcome to bring a design you’ve created ahead of time or come up with one on the day of the class!

You’ll trace your design onto clear paper and then carve it out using an exacto knife. Once your design is ready, we will secure the transparency film to the screen and begin the printing process! I’ll provide paper for you to print on, and you can make as many prints as you like. Since we’ll be using black fabric ink, feel free to bring a clothing item or two if you’d like to print on fabric—I’ll also show you how to properly treat the fabric afterward.

This screen can be used for your design as long as the transparency film holds up, and you’re welcome to create and print as many new designs as you like on the screen! One of the best things about this method is how easy it is to change designs and try different techniques. Screen printing is a fun and versatile process, and this method is an exciting way to explore its creative possibilities!
