Project: Screenprinting inspired by the Art Park

Description: Celebrate the opening of the Speed Art Museum’s new Art Park with a hands-on Screenprinting workshop! Participants will create prints inspired by the park’s sculptures and natural elements. We’ll provide paper and fabric for experimenting, and participants are also invited to bring 1–2 personal items to print on. Please note that personal items must be 100% cotton and completely flat (no buttons, zippers, or bulky seams). We invite you to explore the park before or after the workshop. This workshop is facilitated by local artist Mark Brown. All materials are provided, and no experience is required.
