Our 'Basics' class covers everything you need to know about:
coating, exposing, and prepping screens for printing.
We also cover the differences in mesh counts (and which are good for certain artwork), inks, squeegees, etc...
Each student will then select a stock screen w/image art from our screen rack and use it to
begin printing.
As the class ends you'll be able to bring home your printed tee shirt or paper print.

The 'Intermediate' class teaches each student about the following:
* color separation / basics via photoshop & illustrator computer programs.
* film set up for multi-color registration / pre-exposure of screens.
* creating registration guides / prepping your print area.
This class will mainly center around printing for paper surfaces.

The 'Advanced' class covers half-tones and CMYK/process-printing.
At the beginning of class students will receive their very own:
(1) 20" x 24" aluminum frame screen (156 or 230 mesh count)
(1) 14" medium durometer squeegee.

Students are required to find an old b&w photo and email it to me, pre-class attendance.
At class you will need to: coat, expose and prep your screen for printing.
Once you have done this you will proceed to print your photograph!
This class will mainly center around printing for paper surfaces.

*To keep pace with the 'Advanced' class - it is recommended that students enroll in the first two classes.
