GRHS: Screenprinting 101

Today, Maria Sykes (Epicenter Designer & Strategist) and Lindsay Toman (PACT Co-Manager) went to Green River High School’s two art classes to teach screen printing basics. The students drew their designs, explored figure vs. ground, and learned about the materials used in and the process of traditional screen printing. Due to time and money constraints we were unable for each student to burn a design onto a screen. Instead, the students drew and cut their designs out of parchment paper (it’s kind of like a heavy or fancy wax paper). On Monday and Tuesday, the students will place their designs on the screens and screen print their designs onto t-shirts! Stay tuned for photos of the final shirts next week… This first screen printing class is part of a new initiative at PACT (the Epicenter & Community Center branches, most specifically) to better focus on teens in Green River. Current and recent high school students who may struggle in math and science, for example, do not have an adequate or concentrated opportunity to develop their artistic skills; this marginalization may in fact cause students to not see their own potential in developing their future options. We want to to nurture these natural gifts into expressive and self-affirming talents. The nearest artist development programs are sixty miles away, in Moab or Price, or over 100 miles to Grand Junction and the Wasatch Front. However, the distance to these programs prevents most students from participating. So, by teaching classes at the high school we’re able to encourage teens to turn natural talent or a hobby into lifetime career in design or art, and maybe even learn how to apply “design thinking” to other fields such as science or math. In the future, we’re even planning to have an internship program at Epicenter for local Green River young adults and hold more workshops for all ages!!!

Rural And Proud Tote Bags ›

There are only seven left, and the first batch went fast. So, hurry! People are ordering 2 or 3 at once, so don’t think you can wait a day.

Also, just to restate how great these bags are: These bags are totes awesome 100% cotton canvas, 14.5” wide, 16” tall, and weigh 6 oz. And, of course, we screen printed them in house. They’re big and strong! We fit a large wallet, an iPhone, a box of Cafe de Monde beignet mix, a can of Cafe du Monde chicory coffee, a box of confectioners sugar, the entire Nightmare on Elm Street dvd collection (8 dvd box-set), a bottle of Two Buck Chuck, and a handful of cilantro… and there was still room!
