Learn all about the photo-emulsion method of screen printing and print on fabric, paper, vinyl, plastic and leather. This technique of screen printing is the most effective in achieving quality image detail. You will "burn" your screens with a professional exposure unit, and also learn how to construct your own exposure unit for home projects. This two-day workshop will walk you through the entire process of screen and image preparation to finished print! Open print sessions are available to individuals who complete this introduction workshop.

Class Fee: $155

Fee covers all tools, including ink and one 20x24 professional screen you get to take home for more printing fun.

Class hours: 2 days, 8 hours total

Level: Beginner

For all adults, ages 16 and up

Limited to 6 students

Please bring to class black and white illustrations, high-contrast photos or any imagery that inspires you. We will discuss how to properly compose these images the first day of the workshop. Also, bring t-shirts, fabric or screen printing paper for the second class meeting.

Class special running for session 1. $20 off for you and a friend if you sign up together.

**To register for any of the above dates, please call Nicole at 503-422-1252 or send an email to: nicole@ciprianodesigns.com. A PayPal request will be sent to you. All class fees are due at registration. Refunds will be given to those who cancel two days before the first class meeting.**
