Overview

This honor takes your printing skills to a more professional level. You’ll learn how to build and prepare your own screens, work with different materials and mesh sizes, master advanced stencil techniques, and create multi-color and specialty prints. This honor moves screen printing from a simple craft into a serious design and printing skill. You’ll learn how professionals prepare screens, control detail and color, create repeating patterns, and print on unusual surfaces. By the end, you’ll be able to take an original design and turn it into a professional-looking print on a variety of materials!
