Screen printing posters

Coat and expose screens and print a three-colour poster run by hand.

Screen printing pushes ink through a fine mesh where a stencil leaves it open. It prints flat, bright colour on almost anything. Over six weeks you print a poster in three colours, from drawing the separations to reclaiming the screens.

Taught by Ilse Marten. For beginners.
