About
This hands-on course from THE POINT CDC introduces students to the exciting world of screen printing, a versatile and dynamic method for creating custom prints on a variety of surfaces, including posters, t-shirts, tote bags, and other fabrics.
Through step-by-step instruction, students will learn the entire process—from preparing designs to mastering techniques for applying ink and creating high-quality prints.
This medium of art encourages students to cultivate their creativity, patience, and teamwork skills to bring their ideas to life.
Creativity
• Brainstorming unique design ideas

Teamwork

Step 1: Design Creation
Students begin by sketching or creating their own artwork or message, often using paper or digital tools. This is the creative phase where ideas take shape.
Step 2: Screen Preparation
Their design is transferred onto a screen using a stencil or light-sensitive emulsion. This step involves carefully setting up the screen so it can accurately hold the image.
Step 3: Printing the Design
Using ink and a squeegee, students press the ink through the screen and onto fabric or paper. This is where the design becomes a printed piece.
