Monoprinting & Screenprinting for Ceramics

3-Week Surface Design Workshop

Explore the intersection of ceramics and printmaking in this three-week surface design workshop. Students will learn how to incorporate monoprinting and screenprinting into their ceramic practice, creating unique patterns, images, and layers on clay.

We’ll explore two distinct printmaking techniques:

Monoprinting is a printmaking process that produces a one-of-a-kind image using a variety of techniques and materials. Students will experiment with creating unique prints and transferring them onto ceramic surfaces.

Screenprinting uses a photosensitive emulsion to transfer an image onto a mesh screen, allowing you to reproduce the same design multiple times. Students will learn the basics of preparing a screen and using it to print onto clay.

This class is designed for students who are interested in expanding their ceramic surface design vocabulary and experimenting with new ways to incorporate imagery and pattern into their work.

Please come prepared to each class with 3 leather-hard greenware vessels to work on. Vessels should be fully formed and ready for surface decoration before class begins.

No wheel or handbuilding instruction will be provided during this workshop. Students should be comfortable making their own vessels before enrolling.

Ideal For:

• Students with previous wheel-throwing experience (at least 2 prior courses)
• Potters looking to explore glaze design

Includes:

• 25 lbs of clay
• 6 weeks Studio Access
• 2 weeks after the session ends to finish all work
• Weekly Open Studio time outside of class to practice and explore

Students will meet for 2.5 hrs, 6:30pm- 9pm, once a week for three weeks. You will be able to progress at your own speed and instruction will be catered to your particular skill level.

The class must have 6 people to run.

We do not offer personal make up days since all of our classes are full.Typically instructors repeat lessons so if you miss one week you'll have the demo next time. We also offer open studio, access to the studio on the weekends and some weekday options for students to come in and practice.
