Description
In this workshop you will learn about the technique of screen printing, a technique also sometimes used by Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. In the workshop, we will explore how the artists did this.
You can try out how screen printing works at various stations. Using scissors and paper, you will first create your print template: stars, figures, letters—or whatever you can think of. These pieces of paper are arranged on the print sheet. An open screen is then placed on top and the ink is pressed through it with a special tool, the squeegee: your screen print is finished!
Paper is provided. You are also welcome to bring a shirt, a cloth bag, a dress or other fabrics. Please note that our inks adhere best to natural fibers.
The workshop is run by the artist Matt Wiegele.
