Ryonetof Vancouver, WA, is offering its Screen Print Experience basic screen printing classes in seven locations across the country every month. (See following schedule.) The two-day workshops provide a comprehensive introduction to the textile screen printing process, from artwork and screen preparation to press setup, printing techniques and cleanup. You’ll learn about software and film output options, spot- and four-color process (CMYK) and simulated process printing, as well as water based and discharge printing and foil applications.

Classes, held in the shops of partnering Ryonet printers, feature discussions and demonstrations from industry veterans, as well as hands-on participation. They run 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Included with registration are the Ryonet screen printing class book and note-taking materials, instructional DVD, blank T-shirts for practice printing and lunch on both days. In accordance with safety requirements and labor laws, the class is open only to those 16 years or older.
