Workshop Description

In this 3-hour long workshop, participants will learn how to create a stencil from various types of images: photographs, drawings, or original designs using Adobe Photoshop and will print them on paper. Participants will complete at least one silkscreen print on paper with their choice of ink color and will have the option to print on other items brought from home including t-shirts, tote bags, canvas, and fabric.

SA provides sample t-shirts to test designs, various papers, and a selection of ink that can be mixed to make custom colors. All other silkscreen supplies are included.

Some scholarships are available, please email Marisa to schedule a class or with any questions.

This class is available for participants 10+ through our Classes on Demand Program, which allows you to arrange the class you want on your terms. It’s as easy as finding at least two friends or family members to join you and then proposing a class time to the instructor.
