Intermediate Silkscreen Techniques
New! Intermediate Screen Printing Techniques
Expand your knowledge of all the wonderful possibilities of screen printing! This one-day workshop will cover advanced drawing and exposure techniques, including creating stencils with Rubylith, and developing volume through posterization — a process where you layer multiple exposures of hand-drawn stencils to build volume in your prints.
(Please note that some prior experience and a basic knowledge of the screen print process is required. Contact A/P at director@albertaprintmakers if you are unsure and would like to learn more about the prerequisite.)
