February 15| Screenprinting on Fabric (4 Weeks)

This course introduces the full process of printing on fabric and garments, from coating and exposing screens to printing, reclaiming, and editioning. Students will print on flat fabric and apparel using both print tables and a T-shirt press, learning how images behave on different materials.

 

The class emphasizes hands-on practice, repeat printing, and registration, with time set aside for experimentation. Students will leave with a finished garment or small edition and the confidence to work independently in the screenprinting studio. Throughout the class, students are encouraged to bring their own fabric and garments to print on as well.

In addition to gaining authorization to print independently at Spudnik Press, students will have access to Open Studios to work on their projects.

March 14 | Family Workshop: Screenpainting (2 Hours)

Explore screenprinting with your family through one of its most improvisational and expressive techniques: screenpainting. Using dry pigments or watercolor paints applied directly to the screen, participants will collaborate to create bold, unexpected marks and textures not typically associated with traditional screenprinting.

All materials and instruction are provided, making it easy to jump in and experiment. Families will produce a series of monoprints and ghost prints that can stand alone or serve as a base for further refinement. No computers required—just hands-on making and creative play.

Each registration includes up to four participants of all ages. You’re welcome to attend with the people you consider family. So bring the people closest to you and enjoy creating together.
