PDX SCREEN PRINTING WORKSHOPS

Billy Ghoul's screen printing class offers two great methods for beginners to explore this unique art form. The first method, the full emulsion process, allows students to learn the traditional and professional technique. It involves applying a light-sensitive emulsion to a screen, exposing it to light with a design, and then washing away the unexposed emulsion to create what is essentially a stencil. This method provides a deeper understanding of the screen printing process and allows for more intricate designs.

However, for those looking for a simpler and more accessible option, Billy Ghoul also teaches an at-home version using embroidery hoops and Mod Podge. This method is perfect for beginners or those who want to try screen printing without investing in expensive equipment. With just a few materials, students can create unique and personalized prints.

Whether you're interested in the full emulsion process or the simplified at-home version, Billy Ghoul's screen printing class offers a fun, creative, and accessible way to learn this art form.

  • HANDMADE SCREEN PRINTING WORKSHOP

    This method involves wooden embroidery hoops and mod podge in place of the emulsion. We will be hand-painting our designs onto the screens, so you want your design to be simple. If you do not have a design in mind and prefer to just learn the process, there are examples I can offer you in-class.

    * Maximum of 4 students

  • EMULSION SCREEN PRINTING WORKSHOP

    In this method, we go through the entire process of classic screen printing. The rinsing process is loud and sometimes messy. Waterproof aprons and ear protection are available. For best in-class results, please prepare your design beforehand, and email me to make sure there are no necessary edits.
