Screenprinting

Paying for the series in advance insures you a spot and saves you $20. To sign up email cog.pdx@gmail.com or go to : http://pdxtix.net/cog
  1. We will start with a pre-coated screen, burn and rinse and do a few prints. Bring something to Print. $25 3.5 hours
  2. Students bring in black and white image to be made into a transparency. Discussion on high contrast imagery, and how-to's on photoshop and printing onto transparency and other burn methods. $20 includes 1 transparency (additional transparencies can be printed for $1.)
  3. In two parts, students will coat a screen, experiment with paint on method, burn a screen and  print a test print. Class limited to five people. $100 includes an industrial screen.
