In this workshop, we’ll dive into the world of experimental screen printing. After a brief introduction to the techniques and materials, we’ll explore how color, form, and texture can interact—moving beyond traditional reproduction. Using pre-prepared screens and stencils we design ourselves, we’ll create unique prints and collages that evolve through spontaneous layering, overlays, and combinations. The focus is on the creative process: experimenting, discovering, designing. Whether graphic, abstract, or playful—every piece is one-of-a-kind. The workshop is suitable for beginners and advanced participants alike. Materials are provided; feel free to bring your own sketches or ideas.
