I had a wonderful group of artists in my live online Screen Printing at Home class.  Here are two nice notes I got from students after class:

"Thanks for an awesome class Julie! You're an excellent teacher. I came away with a much better understanding of the process and some good ideas for the future."

"Thanks for demystifying screen printing — so much simpler than I thought, and no fancy anything required! I can't wait to start playing!"

I thought you might like to see some of the demo pieces I created during class.  We printed on paper and fabric.  I shared several different techniques for creating screens.  I shared my favorite technique for printing variegated color.  And I demonstrated some of mistakes printers often make that result in either incomplete or bleeding prints. 

This was the first screen that I made during class.  It looks great on both paper and fabric:

Screen printing ink is wonderfully opaque and slightly dimensional.  You can easily print on either dark or light surfaces.

You can see a detail of the variegated color printing above and below:

I think it looks so cool when the paint isn't just a single flat color.

Most of our screens were small, but I did make one big one during class:

I had a ton of fun in class and I'm so glad that everyone else did too.  I hope that you will join me for a class sometime soon!  If you'd like to purchase a replay of the screen printing class, you can do so HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!
