AKI ArtEZ Academy of Art & Design

Silkscreen workshop

Screen printing means printing on textiles, wood, paper or glass, in fluorescent pink or metallic gold. It is a process full of surprises, inviting you to play with layers, frames and rhythms. You can explore digital development techniques or work with hand-drawn designs, producing both large and small works that range from highly detailed to deliberately rough. In this workshop, print, textiles, graphic art and bookmaking come together.
