Screenprinting Friday

We will meet in A72 / large art room next to the wellness center tomorrow. Please bring the following items to class
-blue painters tape
-screen
- please bring duct tape to class (we will be suring up your screens for easier use in the future / creating a well)
-squeege
-clothes that you can get dirty and wet
-contact paper stencil (please go to the dollar store and pick up a roll of contact paper. you will cut the contact paper to the size of the screen. / if you want to pick up a big roll and split the costs.
-select an image that you enjoy (you can make this so it is multi-colored you will need more than one stencil)
-Then tape your image on top of the contact paper / make sure centered and start cutting. When you cut make sure that you are cutting out the dark tones on one stencil and if you want another color or a medium tone make sure that you are only cutting out those colors. This can work just like 4 color process if you want it to. When making cuts make sure that all the white areas have connection points or your stencil becomes a much bigger area than you would like.

Please come to class with your stencil cut. This will save us time in the studio instead of waiting for cutting mats to free up we can just get started printed. If nervous about how to do this feel free to wait but realize this cuts down on your studio time and we won't be able to have access to this on a regular basis so use your time wisely.

This will give you an idea of what we are doing tomorrow.
