In the Screen Printing - Paper Workshop, you'll learn how to print your own final artwork on paper. You'll learn the process of screen printing, from preparing the matrix (stencil method and exposing the frame) to recovering the frame. Throughout the sessions you'll use screen printing frames with different sizes and threads (72F/90F) and understand the type of application that corresponds to each one. We'll explain the types of paper to print on, as well as the appropriate inks. At FICA we use water-based paper inks suitable for screen printing.

No previous knowledge is required.
