Aims
The aim of the Screenprinting course is to introduce student to the possibilities of stencil techniques and to provide them with the space to create original graphic sheets.
Students will learn the basic theory of screenprinting. They will learn both the methods of processing designs for printing from a direct stencil, and independent realization of the print. They will acquire the ability to apply and realize their own designs in relation to contemporary artistic tendencies.
