2-Day Workshop — Free Form Screen Printing
Nov. 15-16, 2025 | 10:00am - 2:00pm
Join me for a playful and spontaneous approach to screen printing using drawing fluid and screen filler. In this workshop, we’ll toss registration aside and create compositions with experimentation and chance. You’ll learn how to build up layers and color to create rich and expressive prints, exploring the possibilities of color, transparency, and stencils. This process is loose, free, and fun—perfect for anyone curious about printmaking without the need for specialized equipment. Everything we’ll cover can be easily adapted to continue printing at home.
What You’ll Learn
How to prepare screens using drawing fluid and screen filler
How to create and use handmade stencils for layering
Techniques for building layers of color and transparency
Approaches for composing images intuitively
How to build a varied edition of prints with unique results in every pull
