Screen Printing Course

[Numeria Mealer]

Onlinecourses allow you to work at your own pace when it is convenient for you. Certified instructors will teach you how to use various programs like Procreate and Adobe Illustrator, as well as diving into specific screen printing processes like water-based ink printing. Each course is a project-based curriculum, so you'll be able to put to practice what you're learning. If you'd like to learn more about other screen printing processes and techniques, check out our latest videos.

In four days, you will experience the entire screen printing process from beginning to end, with detailed training on each step from prepress through reclaiming. In addition to the fundamentals of screen printing, you will learn shortcuts and techniques that will save time, money and improve results, giving your screen-printing enterprise an edge over the competition.

Maybe you are looking to enter the screen printing industry but have no clue where to begin. Or maybe you are an experienced screen printer who needs to overcome technical problems that occur in almost every shop. No matter what your place in the industry this training class will be a perfect fit. In addition to the fundamentals, you will learn how to avoid common problems that can result in months of wasted time, money and supplies. This training program offers the most effective methods and advanced industry tips and techniques that will benefit every shop.

Every student will be involved with the entire production cycle including taking a screen from start to printed product. Along with the entire class, you will have the opportunity to degrease, coat and expose a screen along with all the subsequent preparation and cleaning of screen after printing. With each step you will have an open forum to interact with both the trainer and your peers. There is plenty of time to ask questions specific to your shop and situation.

We do not cover basic functions of Adobe Illustrator in the artwork portion this class. If you don't have a working knowledge of Illustrator, please take the Five Day Screen Printing A-Z class.

I met up with Ted Whisenhunt, professor and chair of the art department, and we brainstormed on ways to provide the best possible experience to his students. We both knew we had some hurdles ahead of us but we were both excited to get their screen printing course up and running. Before my arrival at the workshop, Ted had consulted with Ed Jewell, co-owner of Danger Press, on the best screen printing gear that would be most fitting for a college-level screen printing course and decided to purchase a four-color manual press.

We wrapped up the day by covering some fundamentals of printing on paper and how it differentiates from printing on garments. For their first project, they will be looking towards the work of Andy Warhol for inspiration and will be screen printing self portraits based on Warhols iconic style. I look forward to seeing the work that students create and from my time with them, I know they fell in love with the immediacy of the process. Check out the images below for a recap of my time with the class. A special thanks to Ted Whisenhunt for having me and I commend him for seeing the value of screen printing as a form of printmaking.

So, no worries that subject matter will be too complex or convoluted to understand. Yes, even advanced screenprinting where physics plays a heavy role, can still be made easily understood by using real-world examples relating to food, relationships and even the occasional adult humor to convey principles and variables in an easily digestible and relatable fashion. Laughing while Learning is our goal.

Control the Variables, Control the Print. Each day, we learn to print wet on wet from Vector, high resolution simulated process to 4 color process. Class is from 9 am to 5 pm each day and includes continental breakfast and lunch.Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as this is an Intensive Hands On Workshop. You will be doing EVERY Facet of Screen Printing onto All these Different Substrates Yourself!

Brian is the master of fundamentals. Our experience here at Kolor Matrix has not only solidified our future in the screen printing industry, but it has awarded us the ability to build a future working relationship with a respected industry brand.

"We opened an automatic screenprint shop 6 months ago and we are primarily printing vector art. I reached out to Brian at Kolormatrix about doing a 3 day course with our team at our facility to review our processes and offer suggestions on where we could improve and where we could implement new skills.

I can not say enough good things about Brian. He was very professional and added so much value. We had 10 people in the class, some were beginners and some had been printing 10+ years. Everyone walked away with a better knowledge of printing and learned something new.

Editing this review because it honestly is a great place to come learn all about screenprinting. Took the class about a year ago and took it again now enjoyed it as much as the first time around . Definitely worth the money, super kind and helpful people. Andrea Morena

Is it worth the trip to Atlanta?

I came all the way from Canada to attend the 3-day screen printing class. It was awesome! I wish I attended this class earlier. Not all screen printing supply houses are as knowledgeable as Kolor Matrix. Most of them never educate their customers. They are just order takers (my local supplier in Winnipeg is like that). Definitely worth it to find a supplier like Kolor Matrix who can educate me and help bring my business to the next level Shawn Li

I enjoyed it so much that I immediately signed myself for another art class when it finished. I found it to be so relaxing and inspiring to tackle a craft different to sewing. You all know how deeply i love sewing, but it is hard sometimes working in a field that is also your hobby. It was refreshing to throw some creative energy into a craft that was different than what i usually do but still somewhat adjacent to sewing.

This was quite an intense course that ran over four weeks, and truth be told, I think it could have been a bit longer. I think we all spent a lot of time feeling quite overwhelmed because we were learning so much at such a fast pace. Having said that, I had an amazing time, so maybe the fast pace was part of it haha.

Since this course was about creating repeat prints for fabric, we spent most of our time working on how to create good repeating designs, and how to physically screenprint a repeating pattern seamlessly, which i found really nerve wracking and fun at the same time!

Angela left the kind of design you explored very much up to you, which i really enjoyed. Having a lot of freedom and course homework was wonderful because it really encouraged me to spend a lot of time fleshing out my design at home as well as in class. I came with a set idea of creating a print based around Western Australian wildflowers and I really appreciated having the freedom to do that.

Doing night classes at Freo Arts Centre was also just a really lovely experience in general. The building is gorgeous, and there are other classes running at the same time, so they set out a little tea and biscuit station for night students, and i felt like that was a really sweet touch.

I am always inspired by Australian flowers, but can never find fabric prints with Aussie flowers that i really love. So that was my goal. I used some flowers from my own garden as well as a book on Western Australian flowers that my mother in law gave me a few years ago.

Creating a motif could mean using one image and really finessing it or putting all your images together to create a design. This was the really fun part! I decided that I wanted quite a dense print, with multiple florals where all the florals overlapped each other, instead of a single design that was repeated over and over. Or individual motifs that were spread out. I feel like for garment fabric that made the most sense to me.

Angela gave us lot of examples of how to tile designs, and walked us through a lot of methods for how to seamlessly repeat patterns. Most people used a method of photocopying their designs over and over, cutting out and rearranging them then taping back together to create a repeating design. Since i work in Adobe Illustrator allllll the time creating instruction diagrams for my patterns, i was very comfortable with using that program. So I scanned my individual florals into the computer, vectorized them, and spent a lot of time rearranging them and coming up with a dense repeat in Illustrator.

Once we had our repeating design ready to go we needed to make sure all the lines were solid black, and then get the design printed on acetate (which is that see through plastic used for projectors, anyone remember projectors?!)
