LOW-TECH PRINTMAKING: STENCILS & SCREENS w/ KERY RODRIGUEZ

LOW-TECH PRINTMAKING: STENCILS & SCREENS w/ KERY RODRIGUEZ Two-day | Friday, September 25 5:30-8:30PM AND Saturday, September 26, 3-6PM This two-day workshop will introduce participants to mesh printing, a low-tech printmaking process that combines modern DIY screen printing methods with late 19th century stencil-based image making. Through the use of mylar stencils and modeling paste, adaptable printing matrices will be created from window screen mesh; these screens will be highly capable of transferring images onto a variety of different hard and fabric surfaces. This workshop aims to expand the participants' understanding of historical stencil and mesh-based printing techniques while encouraging a low cost, DIY approach to printmaking. __
