Introductory to Screen Printing

Are you interested in learning more about screen printing or wanting to further develop your screen printing ideas and techniques? Dover printmaker Bill Mitchell will guide you in exploring the history of the process and basic techniques to get you started. In this workshop we will learn how to paint directly on the screen with Speedball drawing fluid and Speedball screen filler to create a permanent silkscreen stencil that can be utilized to print ink directly on paper or fabric. Students are welcome to bring a simple sketch idea no larger than 5x7 to help prepare their screen. The class will provide all materials to use, but an apron or old clothes is recommended. The workshop is suitable for all levels of experience.

Material/Supplies students should bring to class: sketch ideas, apron or old clothes
Class Free: $100

Instructor: Bill Mitchell
Bill moved to NH in 1983 and began creating silkscreens of the NH landscape.

When Mitchell depicts a NH mountain, forest or river, the resulting image is both familiar and brand new. Mitchell's brightly colored prints portray places of special beauty and meaning to him.
