Screenprinting is a manual technique that can be used to transfer an opaque image to any surface trough a mesh, direct ink and pressure.

In this workshop, you will learn the whole screenprinting process, we will:

1. Pre-printing: Select the screen in base on our design and coat it with emulsion.

2. Transfer the design to our screen: Magical stencil process.

3. Select and mix the color.

4. Print! :)

If you are an illustrator, artist, designer... and you want to be able to produce your own high quality prints at home and self-publish in a budget, this is can be the perfect technique for you.

You can print on all the surfaces with screenprinting, but we will focus on the most populars: textile & paper.

You can make T-shirts, Tote bags, postcards, business cards, prints, etc.

You have to bring your own surface (paper or textile). I suggest to start with paper, because is cheaper and a good way to practice.

We provide inks and all the other necessary material.

Design specifications: 1 color / layer design (max size A4)

Duration: 6 hours.

Max 5 people.

Get ready your design and let's print!

Coffee & vegan snacks included :)

ABOUT ME (the teacher)

My name is Carla Cimino, I am a graphic designer and printmaker from Ibiza. I lived in the sunny Barcelona the past 7 years and I am graduated in design and visual creation at Eina University with honors in typography and editorial design. Here is where I fell in love with manual printing techniques like silkscreen or photolitography and I started to focus on printmaking projects. I created the sex-positive platform and screenprinting project Badass Prints where I collaborated with different international artists and galleries like Mutuo space or Espronceda. I worked on screenprinting comissions for brands as Bumble, Porsche or Sony Music.

I also did a lot of live printing events, taking my screens out for a show where people could see the process and be part of it.

If you have any questions about workshops or comissions get in touch via email and I will help you out. :)
