Location: OSC-Press · Instructor: Jenna A. Bryan
$200 (includes all supplies: Screen, squeegee, ink, paper, t-shirt and apron)
Learn the complete screenprinting process from start to finish with Jenna A. Bryan, owner and Production Manager of OSC-Press. Students will learn proper screen preparation, design prep and transparency setup, exposing and setting up screens, tearing and registering paper, and printing techniques for multicolor fine art prints using waterbased inks as well as graphic tees using plastisol on our carousel press. Students will also learn proper cleaning and reclaiming methods.
The class project will explore several methods for creating transparencies through creating a 3 color screen print with water based ink on paper and will conclude with a collaborative t-shirt design printed in plastisol on our carousel press.
Participants will leave with finished prints, custom-printed apparel, a screen burned with their own original designs, and a squeegee to continue printing after the class. By the end of the four sessions, students will understand the full process and have a basic setup of their own for future printing projects.
Tuesdays & Thursdays · 6–8pm · August 4th - 13th
Location: OSC-Press · Instructor: Eric Piper
$200 — includes all supplies: scribe, v-gauge, copper plate, linoleum, small woodblock
Explore several traditional printmaking processes through a fast-moving, hands-on introduction to monoprint, intaglio, relief, and experimental lithography. In this 4 session class taught by OSC-Press owner & operator, Eric Piper, students will begin by learning how to create monoprints on copper plates and then transform them into intaglio printing surfaces using engraving techniques.
The class will continue with carving and printing linoleum and MDF relief blocks. Students will learn how to plan an image, work safely with carving tools, ink a raised surface, and pull prints by hand and with a press.
The final sessions will introduce experimental and alternative lithographic methods using the carved lino and MDF blocks in unexpected ways. Participants will leave with a varied collection of finished prints and a practical understanding of how several major printmaking processes differ, overlap, and can be combined.

$100 (includes most supplies: printmaking materials, ink, paint, and several t-shirts but students can bring their own garments as well)
Turn clothing into one-of-a-kind wearable artwork with artist Jared Power, also known as EATBADART. Participants will work with T-shirts, pants, and other clothing as surfaces for drawing, painting, printing, and experimentation.
Across two hands-on sessions, students will learn tips and tricks for developing imagery, placing artwork on garments, combining different materials, and responding to the shape and construction of each piece. Participants are encouraged to layer marks, embrace unexpected results, and transform existing clothing into something personal and entirely new.
No previous art or clothing-design experience is required. Participants will leave with original wearable pieces and new ways of using clothing as a surface for creative expression, experimentation, and art that moves through the world.

Develop an original large-scale woodcut relief print from the first sketch through the final carved block in this 6 session class. Students will begin combing their concepts (or lack there-of c:) with drawing exercises designed to generate strong, workable images, then carve several favorite ideas at a smaller scale before selecting one design to develop into a finished 2-by-2-foot or 2-by-4-foot MDF block.
The class will cover enlarging and transferring an image, choosing tools and carving techniques, planning positive and negative space, and preparing and shellac-ing a large block for printing. Students will spend several sessions carving their final designs with individualized guidance throughout the process.
This class is includes automatic registration as a Woodblock Artist in Ink the Block Party, a community festival taking place September 19th behind our shop where completed blocks will be live printed using a steamroller. Participants will leave with their carved MDF block, a large-scale finished print, and an understanding of how to develop woodcut relief artwork from an initial idea into a monumental public print.
Saturdays · 6pm · August 22nd, 29th & September 5th and 12th
Location: OSC-Press · Facilitator: Eric Piper
Printed reading selections provided
This class is free, but registration is required
Join a relaxed four-part reading and discussion group exploring ideas, exercises, and approaches connected to performance art and experimental theatre. Participants will receive short selections to read between meetings, then gather on Saturdays to discuss how the ideas might inform their own creative practices.
Readings may include selections from Jerzy Grotowski’s Towards a Poor Theatre, Movement for Actors, and Antonin Artaud’s writings on the Theatre of Cruelty. Discussions will consider how movement, presence, space, discipline, collaboration, and the relationship between performer and audience can become materials for making art.
No previous experience with performance or theatre is required, and participants will not need to purchase the complete books. Come ready to read, exchange ideas, and explore how these concepts can move from the page into practical experiments and new ways of working.
