Explore the fundamentals and possibilities of screenprinting on textiles with this weekend workshop for beginners and intermediate participants. This class will introduce how to transform textiles with various emulsion-less screenprinting techniques, including stencil-making techniques, free-form image-making, repeatable patterns for textile yardage, and how to build your fabric printing board. The goal for this class is to incorporate a more sustainable approach while overcoming the limited access to traditional printmaking facilities.

About the instructor: Mei Lam So (she/her) is a Minneapolis-based visual artist whose medium includes printmaking, textile printing, and ceramics. She received her BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her MFA in Printmaking and Ceramics from the University of Iowa. Originally from Hong Kong, Mei’s work explores topics surrounding the acculturation process of bicultural Asian immigrants and has exhibited her work nationally.
