Learn how to create multicolor screenprints of your own design. This class will expand on the registration techniques learned in intro classes. It focuses on adding layers/colors to create more complex images. We will look at how to break apart an image by hand and on the computer. Color theory will be discussed through the process of mixing inks, layering colors, and looking at how a third color can be created from two. Leave the class with at least two of your own multi-color screenprints!

  • Students should already have an understanding of the screen printing process. We will be focusing solely on multi layer prints and won’t be able to print on textiles. You will need to provide any specialty paper or ink for individual projects; basic paper and other materials and equipment are provided.

Neckopulos, Alex

An RVA transplant from the Midwest, Alex Neckopulos received a BFA in Economics and Studio Art from Grinnell college. After finishing school, she lived out of a backpack for two years, worked in several different countries, and drew all the places she went. Seeking to add color and complexity to her black ink drawings when she returned to the States, Alex took to screen printing. She continues experimenting with the medium and focuses on creating hand drawn designs inspired by detail found in nature. As a teacher and an artist, Alex believes art is one of the best tools for learning. She is excited by every opportunity to bring this enthusiasm to the studio.
