SCREEN PRINTING Workshop, with MadFildz
Date: May 11, 2024
Duration: 4 hours (from 03pm until 07pm)
Public target: from 12 years old
Price: 30€ p/person (material included)
Each participant should bring an item of clothing, e.g. a T-shirt, for printing.

In this workshop we will cover the theoretical foundations of screen printing, using examples of work by artists such as Andy Warhol and the Pop Art movement, and we will make a presentation of the materials and tools used, preparation of the screen and inking, printing and cleaning of the paintings.

Participants will be able to experience the application of a direct drawing, through the stencil technique – which will define areas of obstruction and passage of the ink on the silkscreen board, allowing an initial understanding of the technique. Finally, each participant will print their drawing on paper or on textile pieces.

The aim of this activity is to stimulate creativity, understand the basic fundamentals of the technique and the process of creating and cutting a stencil, through the stylization of the image and differentiation of the positive and negative of it, and the (re)production of an image through screen printing screens.

MadFildz has a degree in Painting from FBAUL (2010) and a Master’s degree in Fine Arts (2012). She has specialized in mosaics, developed installation projects and curated projects in various contexts. Her work reflects an interest in the issues of technology vs. genetics and nature. She is currently developing pieces that propose to question canons through the evocation of stereotypes, with particular emphasis on everyday objects associated with the spectrum of the human female – not in opposition to them, but in their (de)appropriation. She joined LAC in 2020, and since August 2021 has been coordinating the Association’s Educational Service.
