This 2-hour, comprehensive hands-on class teaches you the basics of screen printing, troubleshooting, working with fabric and paper, and basic registration. Get comfortable with Vera's shop layout, equipment, and culture. Learn about techniques for creating screens, terminology, and techniques to be employed in entry level printing projects in a printshop. 

This class is a prerequisite for other screenprint classes at Vera and access to Open Sessions in Vera's Screenprint Studio. Students can sign up for Studio Open Sessions to work on their own screenprint projects at Vera! Open Sessions are moderated by members of the Screenprint Committee.
