Petite Prints: DIY Frameless Screen Printing

Petite Prints: DIY Frameless Screen Printing with Erin MacKeen

Sunday September 29 2024 10am to 4pm

Learn how to make your own frameless screens for printing small-scale images on textiles and paper. You will use many of the same techniques for creating traditional framed screens but modified to make printing, portability, and storage easier. Students will explore handmade approaches using tape and stencils and will also have the opportunity to design and shoot their own screens using accessible equipment. There will be time to explore the printing process from start to finish in the studio. No previous experience with screen printing is required.

Please wear clothing that you don’t mind getting stained, or bring an apron.

Practice materials will be provided but students are encouraged to bring some pre-washed tote bags, t-shirts, or paper items for further printing.

If you would like to create a screen from a digital image printed on acetate, please send these images ahead of the workshop (by May 24) to [email protected]
