House of Leka - Screen Printing Workshop

🎨 Screen Printing Workshop – Introduction to Hand Printing on Textile 👕 This screen printing workshop is open to everyone who wants to learn the basic principles and hands‑on process of printing on textile by hand. In a 2‑hour session, you’ll go through the complete journey of creating a print – from screen preparation and artwork setup to making the final print on fabric. Screen printing (serigraphy) allows for precise, long‑lasting and repeatable transfers of designs onto various surfaces and is widely used for artist‑made T‑shirts, tote bags, posters and art prints. This workshop gives you both a technical understanding of the process and space to experiment creatively with color, layers and texture. 📍 Location: House of Leka ⏰ Duration: 2 hours ​ 👨‍🎨 Workshop Leader – Jakov Pašalić The workshop is led by Jakov Pašalić, a second‑year MA student in Art Education (Printmaking major) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. His main focus is on traditional printmaking techniques – linocut, aquatint, serigraphy, etching – through which he explores rhythm, black‑and‑white contrast, abstraction and distortion of form, and surface textures. He is inspired by light in urban landscapes and abstract organic forms, and exhibited his work at the 9th Croatian Print Triennial in Klovićevi dvori (2024). Jakov has taken part in several printmaking workshops and artistic research projects and is a Rector’s Award recipient at the University of Zagreb for his stage design work on Igor Kuljerić’s opera “Animal Farm” (2022). ✨ What will you learn? what screen printing is and where it’s used (textiles, posters, art editions) ​ preparation steps: making and coating the screen, preparing the artwork, exposing and washing out the screen technical setup: positioning the screen on fabric, preparing inks and workspace practical printing: pulling the print on textile, drying and basic post‑treatment ✨ IMPORTANT: the workshop is suitable for beginners, students, designers and anyone curious – no prior experience required ​ all screen‑related materials and inks are provided; fabric (T‑shirt, tote bag, etc.) depends on organiser policy – you either print on a provided item or on one you bring numbers are limited, and work is done in small groups for more individual guidance
