Screen printing originated in China around AD 221 where it was used to transfer beautifully intricate images onto fabric with the use of stencils. The practice has been passed down for generations, and while modern screen printing can rely on advanced technology and a wider range of inks, students today can pride themselves on carrying on an ancient art form.
If you were unaware of the historical roots of screen printing, it may be that you’re more familiar with the screen printing revival of the 1960s. During this time, screen printing was a major form of artistic expression for the Civil Rights Movement and musical revolution of the era, especially in cultural hubs like San Francisco! Thanks to the work of iconic artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichenstein and Robert Rauschenberg, screen printing has become a revered form of modern art, appearing in museums and galleries all over the world.
Do you dream of joining the ranks of the artistic greats by learning how to screen print yourself? Whether you want to try printing in Portola or Pacific Heights, our screen printing classes in San Francisco will help you channel your inner artist!
Screen printing classes in San Francisco are fun for locals and tourists, alike. A DIY screen printing workshop is perfect if you’re looking for indoor activities that aren’t in the guidebook, or you’re a local interested in connecting with your SF neighborhood in a new way.
Once you learn how to do screen printing, there’s no limit to what you can create. Decorate your walls with custom printed wall art, give new life to old clothing with some t shirt print DIY, and make amazing gifts for friends and family. You’ll love the sustainable potential of screen printing just as much as the creative aspect! Screen printing workshops make great social activities too, so if you’re looking for experience gift ideas or you want to organize fun team building activities for your hard working colleagues, grab your gang and get printing.
Held at a local art studio, your screen printing adventure in the city will begin with a warm welcome from your talented teacher. They’ll introduce you to the craft, talk you through the history of design and printing, and show you some examples of silkscreen printed artworks. Then it’s onto a safety lesson, as your teacher familiarizes you with all of the supplies involved in the screen printing process. Finally, you’ll be equipped with your own craft kit packed with everything you need to make a masterpiece of your own. Finish the session with a wonderful work of art and the fundamental skills to practice screen printing at home.
Whether you’ve been working extra hard or life has just been getting a bit busy, taking time out from the daily grind to indulge in a creative activity is a great way to recharge those batteries. With screen printing, you’ll be able to switch off from the world and lose yourself in the design process, creating wondrous wall art, beautiful bags, and trendy t-shirts through the gentle and meditative screen printing process.
