>Create your own posters, fine-art prints or T-shirts!
>Make multiples with a fast and easy printing process!

From band t-shirts to Warhol-inspired fine art, Silkscreen is undoubtedly the most popular contemporary form of printmaking.  Over the course of this weekend workshop, you’ll learn to create bright, bold prints on just about any surface, and also see the ways this direct medium can be delicate and subtle.  Fabric, plastic, glass, and many more materials can accept a silkscreen print.  Think of the possibilities!

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced silkscreener, this two day class will cover the basics of silkscreen printing – coating a screen, shooting, prepping and registration – AND more advanced techniques like multiple-color process printing.

You will have plenty of one-on-one time with instructor Dominick Rapone, a School of Visual Arts printmaking instructor and Silkscreen guru.  You’ll learn this accessible process from start to finish; leave armed with a supply list of what you need and where to get it; and with your own freshly printed t-shirts, posters or fine-art prints!

THIS WORKSHOP COMES WITH 10 HOURS OF FREE STUDIO TIME

The Gowanus Studio Space



 

In an era when art encompasses infinite amalgams of visual media, The Gowanus Studio Space encourages inter-disciplinary exchange and provides affordable access to facilities for artists and designers.  Offering exhibition, curation and production opportunities, the studio is an incubator for new ideas and an inroad to today's insular art world.  


The GSS' 40+ members rent low-cost studios and storage and have 24-hour access to a woodshop, print studio and large common workspace.  GSS was established with little funding in industrial Gowanus in 2007, and is now in the final stage of an ambitious move to a new 7500 sq-ft home.
