The PIY / Print It Yourself / Seminars and Workshops Series of Silk Screen Printing is a fact. From 4 March 2023 and for 4 weekends the seminar participants can enter the world of silk-screen printing and its applications in textile and paper.
The PIY Seminars will start on Saturday, March 4, 2023 and are common to all participants. The program includes theory with the basic principles of silk-screen printing, design, and advanced silk-screening techniques by Tind, Fuzz Ink and Antonis Daktilidis.
During PIY Seminars participants will be able to design their own projects with the guidance of the instructors. The participants will then be divided into groups based on the day of printing they choose and then print their designs. Regardless of their choice, participants will be able to follow the printing process of the other groups.
The PIY Workshops will run the next three rounds and will be divided into Design Workshops and Fabric and Paper Printing Workshops, where participants will have the opportunity to print their own designs on paper AND textile.
Design Workshops: Participants do design workshops for silk screen printing with one of the lecturers editing their designs until their final form before producing the film.
Printng Workshops: Participants prepare and expose the screens , prepare machines, and finally print their designs on various T-Shirts and different papers that are provided free of charge and in random shades.
