Fall/Winter 2019 Workshop Series
DIY Screen Printing with Contact Paper Stencils with instructor Heather McLaughlin
Saturday Nov 9th noon-4pm
Sunday Nov 10th noon-4pm
Using tape and contact paper artists can create temporary screen printing stencils. This is a great way to make screen at home with little to no chemicals or equipment. In this workshop artists will create successful designs to cut, create the contact paper stencils by hand and pull a small set of prints. In addition to prints on paper, artists can also print on fabric or other flat materials. This workshop is a 2-day class: On Saturday students will participate in a stencil making and printing demo with work time. Sunday the instructor and all the materials will be available so students can complete additional or more complicated projects.
