AIGA Detroit and Progress of Design present DIY Screen Printing Workshop! For those of you who get tired of strictly working on the computer and miss creating designs by hand this is for you.

This workshop is designed for people who have never silkscreened before.

During the workshop participants will learn:

• Tips for file preparation
• How to burn a screen
• Various methods for preparing and creating designs
• How to register a multicolor print
• Instructions for setting up an at home screen printing space

At the end of the day you will leave knowing the basic tricks of the trade, a poster and t-shirt that you pulled by hand, and with your very own screen to take home so you can begin creating your own one of a kind designs.

To maximize the experience, each participant will print a design by guest designer Shawn Knight, that highlights the possibilities and advantages of the screen printing process.
