Intro to Screenprinting

This class will introduce you to three basic methods of screen printing: stencil, screen filler, and emulsion. You will learn techniques and tools necessary to use our studio facilities as well as a crash course in photoshop and transparency photo printing for rendering images to use for screenprinting. There are many possibilities with screenprinting hand drawn images and digital images so come prepared with some broad ideas of what kind of imagery you want to make and be ready to take notes. A good start for image references is Pinterest. Once you have completed this class you will be able to schedule time in the print studio on your own.

Instructor 
Bianca Ferreira is an artist and designer in Stillwater with a passion for printmaking. Bianca likes to dabble in all arts but excels most in printmaking, illustration and graphic design. They received a BFA in Studio Arts from the University of New Mexico, which is where they fell in love with printmaking—especially lithography. Bianca was selected to work in collaboration with student printers at Tamarind Institute of Lithography during their senior year. Their work was subsequently exhibited in the Tamarind Gallery's exhibition, Excavation: A Tamarind Student Exhibition. Bianca loves to initiate their students into the analogue world of printmaking, teaching methods that are at once age-old and contemporary.
