Alternative Screen Printing Techniques

UG - Undergraduate

Alternative Screen Printing Techniques provides an
introduction to hand-based screen printing as an
alternative to digital methods. While digital
printing may be more convenient, this course
emphasizes the tactile process of creating
stencils by hand. Whether using positive or
negative stencils, the goal is to "block out"
areas on the screen, allowing ink to pass through
the remaining open sections and create prints.

Throughout the course, students will explore a
range of stencil-making techniques and materials,
including paper, acetate, contact paper, tape,
commercial block-out, wax crayons, oil pastels,
resist methods, tusches, and photograms. The
course emphasizes experimentation and
improvisation as well as combining techniques to
discover new outcomes.
Students who enroll must have taken the mandatory
Print Lab orientation and paid the required lab
deposit to use the space before signing up for
this course.
