Welcome to Screen-printing 101!
This is a beginner level class using DIY friendly methods and materials to learn the process of screen-printing. You will be guided through two classes; one to build and prep your screen and the other to experiment with printing on paper and fabric.
At the end of this course you'll walk away with a new skill as well as your own handbuilt screen and printed goodies. *This class comes with practice fabric/paper and a complimentary tote to print on.
Screen-printing 101
Location: Trade Oak Cliff (1300 S Polk, #246)
Arrival – arrival window open until 10 mins after the start time
Day 1 - building your screen & painting your design
Day 2 - printing & pressing
Please feel free to BYOB. Oak Cliff Brewery is also in the same building as Trade.
1. Have a one layer/one color design idea prepared that is no larger than 10" x 10". You will paint your design onto the screen so keep that in mind when considering the difficulty level of the idea. (TIP: you can print/bring your design on paper and trace it onto the screen)
I will provide some generic design ideas for those who cannot or do not want to create their own design.
2. [OPTIONAL] Bring 1-2 light colored cotton/cotton blend fabric items to print on (ie- tshirt, pillow case, bandana, etc)
