We are hosting this class in response to the overwhelming demand we have received over the years for an advanced, technical class covering the process and demands of graphics production specific to the needs in the screen printing industry. This graphics course goes into much greater detail than time can allow for in our full three-day screen printing class on art subjects. Douglas' full day screen printing art production workshop expands upon the art needs information from our full three-day course by offering specific detail about art production for screen printing. This workshop is a very casual round-table type of conversation on your needs with a projected computer screen review of specific issues and direct action to question review of steps and tips for art production. Students are encouraged to ask Douglas detailed, technical questions. Feel free to bring your art questions to the class in order to take full advantage of this workshop. This subject requires open dialogue between the students and instructor and any questions enhance the entire classroom experience.
