This class is for folks who have completed the Beginning Silkscreening class.
If you are an experienced printer you still need to complete the Basic Silkscreening class to familiarize yourself with our particular space and materials. At the end of that class you may test out and begin utilizing the Lab.
Please pay AND SIGNUP BELOW for the class.
Class Fee: $25.

1. Screen - manageable size - roughly 11x17 - can be purchased at Patchwerk Press for $20 or Pearl,Blick, Artist & Craftsman or any number of art stores.
2. Transparency with opaque (no light coming through) image of your choice. You can get a transparency made by taking your black and white image to a copy shop and asking them to put it on a transparency.
3. Whatever textiles, paper, etc you would like to print.
Born and raised by wolves in the dripping netherworld of Cascadia, Jen Lorang (aka Our Lady Lorangutang), attempts to utilize the techniques and spirit of old craft and witchery to create modern day miscellany of vaguely enchanting and somewhat useful objects. In between bookbinding, sewing parsley beds, lace-making, drawing poisonous plants, dancing to Mariah Carey, and losing important items, she finds her down time by shuffling around patchwork press where she likes to print with bright orange and gold. She is one of the co-conspirators of Community Print, a non-profit letterpress and screen print shop in Olympia, WA, where she spent 5 years teaching classes and making a turbulent yet decent living. She is dedicated to making art that tells a story through supporting the radical undercurrent of ideas and communities hidden and oppressed in our society.
