Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Screen printing is a physical medium that involves applying pressure to a screen to transfer ink in a pulling or pushing motion. A certain level of dexterity and strength is required, and students will be on their feet for much of the class. As a neurodivergent person with mobility limitations, Katie is devoted to adapting classes based on individuals' mental and physical needs. All students are welcome to voice what works best for them and accommodations can be made, whether its writing down verbal instructions or assisting with the printing process.
Paid studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.

Katie Pelikan is a graphic designer and visual artist who's been lucky to call Richmond home since 2013. She has a BFA from VCUarts and an MFA from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. She started her small business Pelikan Print Co. to continue the craft of screenprinting and celebrate the calm and mysterious sides of the natural world. You'll find bold shapes, rich colors and an almost naive simplicity across her work. In her free time she likes to explore state parks, rummage around antique shops and research niche topics over a cup of good coffee.
