Telluride Arts: New Screen Printing Lab Announced

04 Mar Telluride Arts: New Screen Printing Lab Announced

There is an exciting new resource for regional artists at the Stronghouse Studios. A screen-printing lab, open to the public, has just come online thanks to the equipment and expertise of long time local Max Harrison.

The lab is set up for large-format printing and has everything artists need to start printing including a four-arm, four- color printer. Artists of all levels are invited to stop by and check out the space and sign up for an intro session. No experience is necessary. Prices detailed here (and members of the Telluride Arts District get a great deal):

Intro Session  (mandatory for everyone): Learn how the workspace is set up, rules, and general practices. Intro session comes with one pre-emulsified screen and a fellow artist walks you through the burning, printing, and cleaning process.
