Silkscreen Printing Basics with Bill Mitchell

Description

Join us at the League of NH Craftsmen – Meredith Fine Craft Gallery on Sunday, October 19th, 2025 from 12 pm - 5 pm for a Screen Printing Basics Class with juried artist William Mitchell. Are you interested in learning more about screen printing or wanting to further develop your screen printing ideas and techniques? Dover printmaker William Mitchell will guide you in exploring the history of the process and basic techniques to get you started. In this workshop we will learn how to paint directly on the screen with Speedball drawing fluid and Speedball screen filler to create a permanent silkscreen stencil that can be utilized to print ink directly on paper or fabric. Students are welcome to bring a simple sketch idea no larger than 5x7 to help prepare their screen. The class will provide all materials to use, but an apron or old clothes is recommended. The workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. Tuition is $65.00 per student with a $10 materials fee paid to the instructor on the day of class. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Those who wish to take the class MUST sign up by Thursday, October 16th. To register for this workshop call the League of NH Craftsmen – Meredith Fine Craft Gallery at (603) 279-7920 or visit the Gallery at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith.
