Course detail
FaVU-1GTPP5Acad. year: 2024/2025
The course is designed as a series of lectures and follow-up practical exercises focusing on screenprinting techniques. In this advanced course, particular attention is given to the technique of printing from direct and indirect stencils using multiple inks on paper and textiles. Within each class, students will learn about working in a screen printing workshop and workflows. The course will include the opportunity to work in the screen printing workshop during open hours. The student will understand methods of design processing and independent implementation. The student will gain the skills to apply and realise their own designs into a finished work of art with reference to contemporary artistic trends.
