Screen Printing

Screen printing is a popular activity at the Fledge, a community center that is known for its focus on creativity and innovation. The Fledge offers screen printing classes and workshops, as well as open studio hours, where individuals can learn the basics of screen printing and create their own designs.

Screen printing is a printing technique in which ink is pressed through a mesh screen onto a substrate, such as fabric, paper, or other materials. It is a versatile process that allows for the creation of high-quality prints with crisp, clean lines and vibrant colors.

At the Fledge, participants in screen printing classes and workshops are introduced to the equipment and materials needed for screen printing, and they learn the steps involved in creating a print, including preparing the screen, mixing the ink, and printing the design. Participants also have the opportunity to experiment with different techniques and styles, and to create their own unique designs.

In addition to classes and workshops, the Fledge also offers open studio hours for screen printing, during which individuals can use the equipment and materials provided to work on their own projects. The open studio is a great resource for those who are interested in screen printing, but who may not have the space or equipment to do it at home.

Overall, screen printing at the Fledge is a fun and engaging activity that allows individuals to explore their creativity and learn new skills.
