Continuing Education

133/141 West 21st Street

Silkscreen, one of the most versatile and widely used methods of printmaking, will be fully explored in this course through demonstrations and self-initiated projects. Painters, photographers, designers and illustrators will find new ways of expressing their ideas graphically through screen printing. Images can be hand drawn, or use photographic or digital techniques, or by using a combination of the three. Large-scale work and printing on paper, canvas, T-shirts, wood, metal and glass are all possible. Water-based silkscreen ink is used, allowing for soap-and-water cleanup. Large-scale digital output is available. Previous printmaking experience is not required.
Note: Access to the printshop outside of class hours is available to continuing education students enrolled in printmaking courses. Access to the printmaking facilities outside of class hours is as follows: Monday through Friday, from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm and on Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Hours are based on classroom availability. Access will not be available outside these designated open access times. Access to the printshop terminates on the last day of the scheduled course.
