Using the Printmaking Studio
The OSU Craft Center has available for student member use: Manual screen printing press, etching press, light box, screens to rent by the term, screenprinting tools, ink and emulsion to purchase
To use the screenprinting studio, you will need to be a Craft Center member, fill out the screenprinting agreement form, and have had an Orientation from our tech during their Tech Time (time available at the front desk). Sreenprinting Orientation and Printmaking Orientations are required annually following the academic calendar for independent studio use.
Screenprinting is a process. It seems very simple, but there is quite a bit to getting the screen ready and then the actual printing. We recommend that you take a screenprinting class.
There are also numerous screenprinting videos available online (links coming soon!).
The screenprinting tech is available to lend a hand here and there during their tech times, but you will want to be familiar with the process first.
