In this workshop, participants will learn new skills in screen printing, while also creating simple book structures. We will begin with a primer on the photo-emulsion screen print process, exploring different ways of making stencils with film positives, including hand drawn, rubylith and photographic source imagery, as well as working on layering transparent colors. We will simultaneously practice several folded forms and simple sewn structures, and will then investigate sequence, movement, and the relationships between surfaces as we begin to integrate images with our structures. We will pay attention to materials, including papers that work well for both printing and folding. Ultimately students will create an edition to share with their classmates. Appropriate for all levels.
