Wednesdays: January 14, 21, 28; 7–9pm CT
This virtual workshop is a guide to using Photoshop for screen printing, including converting grayscale images to halftones, using threshold filters for easy posterization, and other tips and tricks
Photoshop is the perfect way to convert your photographs to screen-printable positives and to preview your layers before ink hits the screen! Participants will not be screen printing in this workshop, but they will have the opportunity to turn photographs into positives, which can later be screen printed in another workshop or independently (depending on the prior experience of each individual).
Level: Intermediate. Participants must have a general knowledge of screen printing as well as access to and familiarity with using Adobe Photoshop independently.
Certificate: 6 hours, Category B or C; fulfills Core design/content requirement
