MAKE YOUR OWN SCREEN — PART 1
24 August · 18:00–21:00
Limited places · €75
Bring a design you’d like to print and we’ll guide you through turning it into your own screen, ready for printing.
You’ll learn how to:
• prepare artwork for screenprinting
• size and set up your design, including bitmap, halftone and dither techniques
• convert your artwork into a print-ready file
• print film transparencies
• coat a screen with photo emulsion
• understand the chemistry behind the screen-making process
• expose your design using UV light
• wash out and prepare the finished stencil
• prepare your screen for printing
You’ll get hands-on practice coating and preparing a screen yourself. To make sure everyone has enough time to expose and complete their individual design, we’ll also have pre-coated screens ready to work with.

• 1 × aluminium SRA3 silkscreen — 160 mesh / 64T
