In this class, students will be introduced to DIY screen-printing through a method that involves custom-cut vinyl that can be temporarily attached to a screen for printing. We will cover a wide variety of DIY printing techniques through discussion, and print our own custom designs using a vinyl technique that utilizes tools available to us at the Forge. The instructor will cover how to adapt a design in the computer to be read by the vinyl-cutting plotter, how to run the plotter, and how to attach your vinyl to a screen for printing.
Using water-based inks, we will print our designs on test fabrics, or students can bring in fabric goods to print on. If students wish, they can submit their own custom design to the instructor prior to the start of class, to be able to cut and use for their practice print.
Students will leave with an understanding of the techniques, materials and tools needed to screen-print for themselves, and samples of their work from class.
STUDENTS BRING: Pen + paper for notes, (Optional) your own vector design to print (Email your design to: [email protected] at least a couple days before class), (Optional) fabric goods to print on.
