Class 73. Introduction to Silk Screen with Frol Boundin | Athenaeum Art Center

This workshop-style course introduces students to the popular and fun printmaking technique of silk screen. Students will create vibrant, multicolor prints using water-based silk-screen materials while exploring their own style and applying this popular method to their own imagery. The direct-on-screen stencil techniques, such as screen filler/drawing fluid or wax crayon, as well as indirect photo-emulsion methods of drawing on Mylar, will be shown; digital file preparation will be explored. Stencil-monotype-printing and mixed-media approaches will be covered. Students will learn how to set up their own DIY studio and will learn all aspects of preparation, setup, and production of fine art prints.



Materials: Ink and studio materials will be provided. Students are responsible for paper and screen frames. No prior experience with printmaking is necessary.
