Screenprinting & the Artists’ Book 

This workshop will explore the stark graphic quality, rapid process, and reproductive potential of screenprinting. It will include instruction in the application of photo-emulsion to the screen, exposing imagery to create the stencil, and printing on rag paper and book fabric. Emphasis will be placed on utilizing screen prints as a catalyst to creating pages and covers for unique artists’ books, in particular, the dynamics of the concertina book structure. Bookmaking strategies, including tools, properties of ephemeral materials, adhesives, and emphasis on craftsmanship will be imbedded in the workshop. Ultimately, participants will print and construct multiple captivating print-based artists’ books of their own creative vision from conception to completion.  This workshop is open to participants at all levels of experience.

Studio Fee: $125
