Intro to Silkscreen Workshop

$75.00

This workshop is led by artist Jen Hewett, a printmaker, surface designer, textile artist and teacher who shares with us a hands-on overview of beginning print screening for those interested in creating their own custom textiles. Having carefully curated the tools and materials needed to dive in, Jen offers step-by-step directions to design one’s own template and to transfer that design to fabric using a screen printing frame.

Learn more about the details of this project on Jen’s Featured Maker Page

What is screen printing? Screen printing is a printing technique using mesh (held in place by a wooden frame) to transfer ink onto a textile one color at a time. This method is also known as silkscreen because traditionally silk was used in the place of today’s synthetic threads (which make up the mesh). The method that Jen covers allows one to use the same mesh again and again with brand new designs and colors – it’s a wonderful technique to explore!

This workshop includes:

  • An online digital workshop by maker Jen Hewett
  • A live & recorded Maker Chat Q&A with our artist
  • Tools and materials from artisan suppliers, curated for you, by Jen

The tools & materials included in this kit:

  • A generously sized 10×14″ silkscreen frame for small to large scale designs
  • An 8″ 65 durometer silkscreen fabric squeegee
  • Two water-based silkscreen inks (with the opportunity to blend for a third color)
  • Tools for creating your design: a precision knife, tracing paper, masking tape, paint scraper, stir sticks
  • White cotton flour sack towels to print on

Happy making!

Optional Materials Kit:

A Summer Silkscreened Towel | Jen Hewett

A Tulip Silkscreen Floral

We've collaborated with Jen Hewett to bring another wonderful materials kit design to our Marketplace! Her summer floral is a three part screen print and an intermediate template. It's a wonderful way to experiment with silkscreen above our initial workshop collaboration with Jen.

Included in this materials kit:

  • two 28x28" cotton flour sack towels (in the same style and weave as our original kit)
  • two new jars of violet and yellow-green screen printing ink
  • a brand new template by Jen Hewett

Please note that this materials kit is only available to those that have participated in Jen Hewett's screen printing workshop. Purchasing this materials kit does not grant access to the original workshop video, this materials kit is an opportunity to grow and expand using the original workshop tools & techniques.

Happy making!

December 2017 | 2018 Calendar | Silkscreen | Jen Hewett

Add-On Kit: A Linen Silkscreened 2018 Hanging Calendar

This listing is an add-on to our December workshop with textile artist Jen Hewett. This month we've pre-silkscreened a limited quantity of 2018 calendar linen banners (complete with dowel and twine for hanging) to create a really lovely custom piece for the home or as a gift. Outline the silkscreened calendar in your choice of design and colors using the two original inks from our workshop kit plus two NEW inks offered in this add-on kit. With four inks, a color wheel palette is quite limitless once one begins experiment with blending to create secondary and even tertiary colors.

2018 Calendar Banner Add-On Kit Materials:
-a Southern California-sewn linen banner (our favorite Robert Kaufman linen), roughly 13x18" in size
-hanging tools: a 14" dowel + twine
-two new water-based silkscreen inks: navy and yellow (to accompany magenta and turquoise from our original kit)

This add-on kit is available only to those that are participating in our December workshop. If purchased before November 30th, these add-on kits will ship with complimentary shipping within the December box.
