*Please take Intro to Screen Printing before taking this class.
In this workshop we will cover one method of screen printing multiple layers using a sheet of transparency film to obtain accurate registration. Students must come with 2 screens that are ready to apply photo emulsion to if they wish to take home their screens, otherwise they may borrow studio screens for the duration of the class that must be cleaned and returned to the studio once that class finished.
Day 1: Image development
Day 2: Burning 2 screens with images
Day 3: Learning how to register one layer over another using 2 colors of ink

Why are there multiple prices? All of our classes are offered at a sliding scale, with a free option available to anyone that requests it. The base price helps contribute to keeping our classes running. The core price is the "true" cost of the class OffCenter needs to cover paying our teachers and providing supplies and materials. If you are able to support at a higher level, paying the top supporter price helps ensure we're able to offer a variety of classes and always keep free spaces open for anyone that needs.
There are a limited number of free spots available online. If these are sold out, please email, call, or drop by the studio to sign up! Email info@offcenterarts.org.
