INTRO TO SCREEN PRINTING
2-week class
Saturdays: Sat Feb 23 & March 2
Time: 10:00am-1:00pm
Fee: $50
In this course students will learn the basics of screen printing. The instructor will demonstrate and guide students in preparing hand drawn and digitally printed art for photosensitive emulsion, creating stencils, preparing and exposing screens, and setting up to print both single-color and multi-color projects. This is a project-based course and students will be able to apply these techniques creating a print. Students of all levels are welcome, some Photoshop experience preferred, but not required. Material fee includes ink, newsprint and some paper.
Our Instructor, Artist Susan Czechowski, fell in love with screen printing twenty years ago when she was lucky enough to work on several pieces for Roy Lichtenstein. Since then, she has taught thousands of students silkscreen and printmaking techniques as a professor at Western Illinois University. Outside the classroom, Susan leads art students on annual trips to her native New York City as well as summer sessions to different cities across Europe; for fifteen years, she has also mentored undergraduates at Southern Graphics Council International. In addition to her role as teacher, Susan has shown her own work in numerous gallery and museum settings across the United States and was recently awarded a residency and exhibition at Grafische Werkplaats in the Netherlands. She holds a B.A. in Art and Art History from Washington College and an M.F.A. from Syracuse University—and feels the same excitement each and every time she pulls a squeegee across a fresh sheet of paper.
