Enhance your illustration using the tactile art of screenprinting.
In this course, you’ll practice in a professional printing studio and
develop DIY techniques to set up a small-scale print area in your own
home. We’ll discover how to create multicolour screenprints using
various printing, colour separation and registration techniques. We’ll
also create highly-detailed film positives with Adobe Photoshop and
get an introduction to CMYK screenprinting techniques. Finally,
production of self-promotion will be made based on your artistic
directive through: business cards, t-shirts, posters, mailers, or artist
editions. No previous screenprinting experience or Adobe Photoshop
skills are required. (Taught by, Jeff Garcia)
