This course approaches screenprinting as a medium of artistic expression, concentrating on techniques  and experimentation. All basic screenprinting techniques will be covered: image-making, screen and  material preparation, the use of screen printing as a creative outlet, including monoprinting and  reduction edition printing. Artists will develop two suites of prints while exploring the ins-and-outs of  screenprinting techniques. Enrolled artists will be emailed a small list of items and images to provide  closer to the start of this workshop. No experience necessary; beginners are encouraged!
