Discover the fundamentals of screenprinting, a versatile printmaking technique that lets you transform your designs into stencils and apply them to surfaces like fabric, paper, and more.
This course introduces you to the essentials of coating and exposing screens, mixing inks, and setting up a reliable printing workspace. You’ll create prints using both analog and digital methods, exploring how mark-making, collage, and photography can enhance graphic and textural elements. By the end of the course, you’ll have your own prints, a finished screen, and the skills to continue printing at home. All printmaking supplies provided.

Nicholas D’Ornellas (b. 1997) is a Guyanese-born printmaker and weaver based in Jersey City, NJ. He holds a BFA (2021) from The Cooper Union for The Advancement of Science and Art. His focus includes printmaking as a vehicle to explore domestic life within immigrant narratives through life-sized, handwoven, screen-printed textiles. Nick’s work pays homage to his ongoing interest in the functionality of craft and also his family’s flight from racial and classist violence in Guyana. He physically threads together the layered emotions that come with being within a deeply consuming family structure. Nick’s hand weaving can be understood as both rehearsal and transformation of memory.
