Color changes everything. This class is built for artists ready to take on the precision demands of multi-color printing — some experience is helpful, but not required.

From artwork separation to ink layering, students will work through the full multi-color workflow. Special focus is placed on registration — the make-or-break skill of multi-color printing. Students will get hands-on experience with jigs and registration tabs, learning how to choose the right setup for the job and achieve consistent alignment across every pass.

 

By the end of this class, students will walk away with a completed multi-color print and the technical foundation to print independently in Open Studio.

It is approachable, yet has many facets to explore and master. This foundational class introduces all the basic skills to get someone new to the process up and running, creating art on both paper and fabric.

A selection of projects will give students the opportunity to produce prints from hand drawings, digital designs, and photographic or found imagery. Students will become familiar with the full process — from selecting the right screen, to darkroom exposure, ink mixing, printing, and reclaiming screens. With support from an experienced printer, students will practice printing and, equally important, troubleshooting.

By the end of this class, students will know their way around the print shop and be authorized to print independently through Spudnik Press’s Open Studio program.
