CAD Screen Printing Class! ($150) – 02/05 and 02/02

We would like to invite you to join our Screen Printing class! Since the opening of our new CAD West Studio, we’ve been hard at work building a professional Screen Printing facility. We are happy to say it has been a huge success and the classes have been going great.

The class will be structured into a comprehensive two day workshop. We will take you through the entire process of screen printing. Teaching you how to set up your artwork, expose your screens, mix your inks, and ultimately create a 19×25 two color screen print with an edition of 20.

In addition to the classes, there will be 8 additional open studio sessions for 4 weeks following the class. This will allow you to fine tune your skills and continue the process at your leisure with fresh inspiration.
