Open Studio - Screen Printing

Screen printing is a versatile graphic technique used to produce high-quality posters and other printed works. It allows for both painterly and precise results and is known for its vibrant colours and sharp details. In screen printing, ink is pushed through a fine mesh onto a surface using a squeegee, while blocked areas of the mesh create the desired shapes. A screen print can consist of one or multiple layers of colour, be produced as a series or as a unique print, and — with the right ink — can be applied to almost any material.

Open Studio

The Open Studio: Screen Printing is open to anyone with an X membership who has completed a Screen Printing course, at any time when an assistant is present. All you need to do is register beforehand. The assistant is there to help when needed, to give tips and advice and to ensure that all materials and equipment are used responsibly and safely.

During the Open Studio: Screen Printing you are welcome to use the screens, lighting equipment, squeegees and other tools. Transparencies, emulsion, paint and printable materials (canvass bags and 200g and white paper 70 x 100 cm) are available for purchase. Or you can bring your own printable materials.

The Open Studio is coordinated by assistants. Our assistants are volunteers. The Open Studio is only available when there are sufficient assistants. Therefore sometimes some of the studio’s will not be available during a weekend. Please have a look at the availability of other studio’s or sign up for our MAKE studio in which you can do DIY projects.
