This four-week Friday night series is a relaxed, hands-on introduction to screen printing that uses low-tech, approachable methods—no fancy equipment or prior experience required. You can sign up for each week individually or purchase the entire 4-week course to explore each technique and find the perfect fit to start your screen printing journey at home. Great for beginners—No prior printmaking or screen printing experience required!
Week 1: Drawing Fluid & Screen Filler
September 12, 2025, 6-8:30pm
Discover the painterly possibilities of screen printing with water-soluble drawing fluid and screen filler. This resist method lets you create direct, expressive marks right on the screen—no exposure unit needed.
We’ll explore the interplay of positive and negative space, from loose brushstrokes to fine detail, giving you a fast, intuitive way to bring your images into print.
Week 2: Water-based Media
September 19, 2025, 6-8:30pm
Take your drawing and painting skills into the world of print with our Water Media Screen Printing workshop—part of the 4-week Innovative Screen Printing Techniques series. Learn to paint directly onto the screen with water-based media, creating luminous, layered prints full of nuance and spontaneity. This low-tech, exposure-free method is perfect for artists who love mark-making and want to bridge the gap between painting and print.
Week 3: Charcoal & Pastel
September 26, 2025, 6-8:30pm
This week is all about experimenting with dry materials rarely seen in traditional screen printing. We’ll dive into pastels, charcoal, and other unexpected tools to translate still life sketches into bold, textural prints. Discover how to transform soft, powdery marks into vibrant, layered imagery full of depth and character.
You’ll learn how to adapt these ephemeral, expressive media into something reproducible—whether you’re aiming for one-of-a-kind statement pieces or small, cohesive edition runs. The results can be rich, moody, and atmospheric or bright, energetic, and full of movement, depending on your hand and vision.
Week 4: Mono Screen Printing
October 3, 2025, 6-8:30pm
Loose, playful, and full of surprises—monoprinting with a screen is one of the most freeing ways to work. We’ll ditch the rules and apply ink directly to the mesh in layered, experimental ways, exploring texture, color, and mark-making as you go. This session is a celebration of process, accident, and discovery—perfect for artists who love spontaneity and want to embrace the unexpected. No two prints will be alike.
By the end of each week, you’ll leave with a small collection of unique, hand-pulled prints along with the techniques and confidence to continue exploring the possibility of low-tech screen printing at home.
All materials are provided. Just bring your ideas, your curiosity, and whatever you’d like to sip while you print (BYOB).
This is an introductory-level workshop, great for anyone who’s ever been curious about screen printing or just wants to try something new. Keep an eye out: deeper dives into each of these techniques will be offered in future sessions.
Spots are limited—join us this fall and get your hands inky!
