Free School Screen Printing Class Schedule
Here's what I think I want to have planned for everyone. What does everything think? This is all subject to change, depending on how fast we're all going. If we need more time, we'll take more time - no problem!
April 5th, 2010
7:00pm - 10:00pm
- Let's Crash Land into Screen Printing!
(Let's start printing, so this isn't boring and you have something to put on your refrigerator, tonight!)

- The Materials and Equipment Talk
- The Basic Techniques Talk - photo emulsion (burning) and screen filler (directly drawing) and stenciling (um, stenciling...)
- Plan on a Project for Next Week (one color design of your own choosin')
- Let's start talking on rounding up materials (cheaply!) for everyone, so that we're not breaking the bank. - here's a list of the materials we might want to acquire.
- Cleanup! Go Home! Yeah!

April 19th, 2010
7:00pm - 10:00pm
- Justin's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUSTIN!
- Check in with everyone - how's are the projects going?
- Let's answer questions in a group and let's figure out what needs workin' on
- Continue work on our first projects.
- Start thinking about what you'd like to do for your next project - it's your choice! Some ideas:
- Posters!
- T-shirt/Textile/Fabric!
- Multiple Colors!
- Alternative Material/Techniques
- Feel free to collaborate with other students and/or work on what you want to work on - the "Teacher" (That's me!), will be there to help guide and advise your way.
- Clean up! Go home! Yeah!
April 26th, 2010
7:00pm - 10:00pm
- Check in, see how we're all doing
- Answer questions, share new-found knowledge
- Work! on that second free-for-all-project!
- Clean up! Go home! Yeah!
After this point, we'll see how we're all doin' and feelin' and all that. There's no work that needs to be completed at any time, so feel free to go as fast or as slow as you'd like and please tell me (the teacher) how you're feelin' what you need and what you'd like to work on. If we're all getting pretty much happenin' on our second project, the latter classes can turn into a free-studio time, to work on whatever you'd like.
