About
Learn the art of screen printing in this five-hour workshop. Screen Printing is an ancient method of transferring pigment to a surface. An experienced print-maker will guide you through every step of the process. All aspects of screen printing will be covered, including how to use paper as a stencil material, how to properly set up the screen for printing, what types of inks can be used, and how to heat set for washing the fabric. Commercial printers use screen printing today for T-shirts and textile printing, and you'll learn the process in this workshop.

Dana Seeger
Screen Printing, Surface Design
Dana Harris Seeger was born in San Francisco and split her childhood between California and Indiana. She pursued her passion in high school and college and received a bachelor's degree in painting from Anderson University in Indiana in 2004 and a master's in fine arts in printmaking from San Jose State University in 2011. She is a member of the California Society of Printmakers. In 2014, Dana co-created an art studio and school in San Jose, Calif., called the School of Visual Philosophy. Her work in printmaking and painting helps her connect real to imagined memories and her life experiences to her heritage. Growing up as a second-generation Baltic American, she has always tried to connect the artifacts acquired from Estonia and Latvia into her own story. She lives in Poulsbo with her husband (a sculptor), daughter, and twin sons.
