Screenprinting and Drawing Studio

Here, students can master the technique of screenprinting, also known as serigraphy, and learn design that takes into account the advantages and limitations of this technique. Through projects carried out in the studio, they also gain a fundamental understanding of working with color and refine their knowledge of composition. Screenprinting is applied to print on paper, wood, and fabric, providing broad possibilities for utilizing this technique in projects for both specialties.
