This beginner-friendly session will cover the basic principles of screen printing and introduce the various methods used. Participants will also create their own screen print.

$45 class fee includes all supplies.

About the Artist: Winterfair artist Scott Jones (Urthy Fiber Art) learned to sew from his grandmother at the age of nine. This began his love of all things vintage and his appreciation for fine craft. In 2020, he began designing his own textiles, pairing his screen prints with his own textile designs. The images are his interpretation of mid-century pop culture in the atomic age.
