Screenprint Wrapping Paper & Gift Bags | Arden Conine (week 1)

Thursday 11/13 5 PM – 9 PM

$60 non-associates / $51 associates ($35 for materials)

Learn the basics of screen printing while creating your own one-of-a-kind wrapping paper and gift bags! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll go step by step through printing a repeating pattern—from setting up the screen to pulling your first print. Along the way, we’ll experiment with simple techniques like overlapping, layering, and playing with color to make each piece unique. This versatile printing method is used everywhere, from fabric to wallpaper, and it’s surprisingly easy (and fun!) to get started. We’ll be working with non-toxic, water-based inks, making this a relaxed and approachable way to dive into the process. The class is led by Arden Conine, an artist and student at Cornell University with a deep background in screen printing. Check out her work at ardenconine.com or @arden.co9.art on instagram! By the end of this workshop, you’ll head home with your own hand-printed wrapping paper and gift bags, perfect for special occasions! No experience necessary. Come back for week two to design and print your very own custom repeating pattern!
