Poster Design and the Screen Printing Process

Join us as we go behind the scenes at Mama’s Sauce, an award-winning letterpress and screen printing studio. You’ll hear from both sides - Designer (Clark Orr) and Printer (Hogan Birney) -as they work together to create and screen print a poster.

In this class, you’ll learn:

• What screen printing is and how to design for it
• Choosing the best paper and ink for the job
• Best practices for preparing and delivering files to the printer

Hogan Birney has played many roles at Mama's Sauce, from Letterpress printer to Production Consultant, and he'll be your guide through the production process.
