Screen-Printing Class Guide

Objective

The objective of this course is to teach the fundamentals of manual silks screen-printing. Participants will learn how to capture images (whether it be through photography, illustration or design), process them graphically, “burn” a silk screen and create manual reproductions with acrylic paint. We will use the installations of the Dojo Studios to go through every step necessary to create posters, t-shirts, art multiples or collages using the classic technique of serigraphy.

By the end of the course, students will have gained a generalized knowledge of the silkscreen and its applications for either art or for business.

Below you can find a brief description of how the two-day course is broken down.

As participants explore and cultivate the learning outcomes listed above, they will ultimately put skills into action to produce a final art object that they can take home that the end of the day.

This year Dojo Studio relocated to 380 McGuinness Blvd. Greenpoint Brooklyn. We wanted to take the time to share a recent picture of the inside the new studio. We have come a long way from where the space was back in January (a dank, dark and dirty mechanics garage) but still have a ways to go! The beauty of this space is that it’s constantly changing to meet the demands of our daily needs. Some days the studio needs to act as a wood shop, other times a space for silk-screening and evenings we can turn the space into an art gallery for local artists or host art classes like silk-screen workshops for the community.

We've been busy at Dojo making hundreds of original screenprints on New York cycling maps. We call them Re-Cycling Maps. Get it? Each one is unique and folds to pocket size.
Stop by and visit to check out the full selection! You can find us at:
Chelsea Market, 88 10th St, New York, NY
and 7707 Bedford Av, Brooklyn, NY
