In this class students will learn screen printing processes which can be applied without access to the technologies of the print studio. Non-photographic and hand drawn stencil techniques, contact or cut paper stencils and screening non-traditional materials as well as ad hoc strategies for setting up a home studio will be addressed. Students will work on independent creative projects geared towards using the simplest of screen techniques with the goal of building the knowledge to pursue a do-it-yourself creative practice or cottage industry. More advanced technical and conceptual issues will be explored using screen printing methods which will be discussed and critiqued with the group and with one on one meetings with the professor, culminating in a final body of cohesive work to be presented at the end of the semester. Additional materials fee will be charged.
