Beyond the Basics: Intermediate Screenprinting on Paper

About this event

Ready to move beyond the basic single layer print? Level-up your skill set in this intermediate class to design multi-color prints. Using overlapping layers to expand the color range of a design, you’ll dive deeper into the creative possibilities of silkscreen printing. We’ll cover some basic color mixing, how to set up your design for multiple layers, and registration techniques to ensure printing success. Level: Intermediate—Introduction to Screenprinting on Paper or similar screenprinting experience (6 hours, covering screen exposure and printing basics) is required. Registration closes December 5, 2026. Material fees are included with your registration to cover the supplies provided in class, including a brand new screen for you to keep.
