Silk Screen Workshop

Last night was the final night of our current workshop class and Rachael and I had a blast. We had a great group of people in.

Okay, this is cool. Anna flattened a flower in a book and then she drew it. Good job lady, you taught me something new.

Perfect bread bag by Katherine.

Cathy put a lot of thought into this and ended up with four perfectly matched napkins.

Cathy is doing it! Yah!

Natasha had a little factory going on in the back corner. Pillowcases, bags, tees, skirts, tea towels.. and I'm sure there was more.

Margot prepping her screen to print her onzies she made for her niece.

Natasha came in with a quilt she made in the last week using her sample screen run we did in the 2nd class. Pretty impressive.

Screen Printing Workshop

Did you ever want to learn how to screen print? We have been getting requests to teach another class so we are running a workshop every month.*

This class is geared towards the DIY person. We will teach you how to make a screen from scratch, which you get to take home at the end. We will take the mystery out of photo emulsion. You will learn how to turn your ideas into prints using several different methods. We will provide you with tea towels and a super special tote made by Smoking Lily for you to print with your own designs.

The workshop is broken into 3 classes. The first series runs July 5th, 5:30 to 7:30; July 12th, 5:30 to 8:00; and July 19th, 5:30 to 9:00. The second series is August 9th, 5:30 to 7:30; August 16th, 5:30 to 8:00; and August 23rd, 5:30 to 9:00.

The workshop price is $220. You will go away with some lovely tea towels and a tote adorned with your designs, plus you take home your own screen so you can print more of the image you create in class. On top of that, you will have the knowledge to do the whole process yourself, from scratch!

We run on a first to pay, first in system. You can register at Smoking Lily 569 Johnson Street, 250-382-5459.

Oh yeah, you will have homework and there may be minimal expenses for materials ($5 or so).

*Not every month forever though.
