st. lawrence university: department of fine arts

The second of two silk screen workshops held by Associate Professor Melissa Schulenberg took place Saturday, October 10, 2009. The workshops were offered in conjunction with the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery’s current exhibition Sister Corita: The Joyous Revolutionary.

Fourteen participants, many of them teachers, came from the area and beyond, some from as far away as the state of Maine!

Here are pictures from the workshop and also some resources if you missed the workshop and want to learn to create silkscreen images (also known as serigraphy).
