Screen Printing Workshop

April 14 @ 1:00 pm 4:00 pm

Join artist Hannah Jacoby-Brooks for a Screen Printing Workshop on Sunday, April 14, 1–4 pm.

Participants will learn how to prepare their own drawing for a one-layer screen print, prep an embroidery hoop screen, and print! The embroidery hoop method is a simple, at-home form of screen printing that doesn’t require a studio or a darkroom. If the participant has a specific idea in mind, they can bring a printout to trace. Images should be a maximum of 6 x 6 inches. Each ticket includes all craft materials needed. Attendees will be provided with a tote bag and are also welcome to bring dish towels, shirts, or any other material to print designs onto should time allow. Workshop guests will be able to take home what they make.
