Sunday 11.3 9am-2pm Learn to Screen Print I Workshop
About this Workshop
From preparing transparencies, coating and exposing screens, to printing your own one color t-shirt with plastisol ink, we will break down each step in the screen-printing process during this 5-hour make and take workshop. This class is great for brand new printers or those just looking to get back in the game.
Due to the nature of the printing process, this class will require long periods of standing. It is also recommended that participants wear clothing that they do not mind getting dirty as we will be working with materials that can stain clothing.
Individuals interested in obtaining membership status with ALT must successfully complete both this course and the 2-color course before eligibility is granted.
Please note:
Memberships will available to those individuals meeting the eligibility criteria outlined in this agreement. Members will have access to the ALT studio space and equipment outlined in this agreement. ALT staff will be present during all studio times and are available for equipment trouble shooting questions only. Present staff will not teach “how-to” printing techniques outside of what is covered in the ALT Learn to Print I & II Classes.
Participants should wear comfortable clothing that can get dirty. Screen-printing is a process intended to make permanent fixtures to fabric so the ink will stain.
We ask that you arrive a few minutes before the class begins to get settled and check out the shop.
Printmaking is a generally safe process. However, A.L.T. Printing Co. assumes no liability for accidents or injuries. Each participant will be required to sign a liability waiver prior to the workshop.
Registration for classes will typically close 24hours before the start of the class. This allows A.L.T to prepare and ensure a wicked awesome class for everyone signed up.
