SCREEN PRINTING - FROM SIMPLE TO SUBLIME
2011 Maiwa Textile Symposium Workshop
Wendy Huhn
(Maiwa East - 1310 Odlum Dr.)
$450 (Includes $90 Lab Fee - and a screen which students will keep)
Join Oregon-based silk screen artist Wendy Huhn for four days of in-depth instruction. The focus of this hands-on workshop will be threefold: to introduce screen printing, to master the use of photo emulsion for image creation, and to take the unknown elements out of screen printing.
In addition the workshop will cover such techniques as direct wax, screen filler, and contact paper stencils. The various media that may be used with screen printing include textile paints, thickened dyes, discharge pastes, bleach pastes, puff extender, and foils.
Other subjects that will be invaluable to the budding screen printer are studio safety and methods for exposing your own screens in your own studio. The techniques will be taught step by step so that students gain a comfortable and competent understanding. There will be time to print, experiment, trouble-shoot, and play.
