Make+Take: Screenprinting with Drawing Fluid

In this hands-on workshop, participants learn a painterly screenprinting method that uses drawing fluid and screen filler to create hand-painted designs directly on the screen. The technique is inexpensive and can be continued at home without a darkroom or photo emulsion: the image is painted on the screen, coated with screen filler, dried, and then washed out to form a stencil. The class is designed for beginners with no prior experience, and all materials are provided. The workshop is led by Josh Kery, an interdisciplinary artist with a background in screenprint, textiles, and code, who has exhibited and performed at venues including the Frame Gallery in Pittsburgh, MuseumLab, and the Fabric Workshop and Museum.

When: Thursday, July 16, 2026, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Showtimes: Single session—the workshop takes place during the scheduled two-hour block and does not have multiple showtimes.

Tickets: $46.00 per person. As of the page text, tickets are no longer available because the class is at capacity. A waitlist is available by emailing the venue with your name and the class name.
