Join artist Laurie Shapiro for an evening of screen printing on both fabric and paper. Screen printing is a versatile and accessible technique that allows for a wide range of design possibilities. Practice silk screening with premade designs, and learn the cut paper technique to create your own designs. SVMoA will provide cotton bags and long-sleeved t-shirts to print on, but teens are encouraged to bring their own ideas, fabrics and materials. Leave the workshop with your unique creations.
