Using simple, hand-cut stencils, students will learn a DIY style of screen-printing that they can easily do at home. Students will be shown how to cut intricate stencils, register and print in multiple colors, and experiment with varied surfaces.
Paper and print materials will be provided, but students are encouraged to bring anything else they'd like to work with (canvas bags, t-shirts, you name it!).
