Demonstrations
The demonstrations included in Print Camp will cover the use of stencil based processes such as direct silkscreen with vinil masks and cut outs made of acetate or paper, and printing possibilities such as rollers, brushes, sponges and hand press.
During demonstration participants will follow how the print camp poster was prepared, from original digital file to the positive printed onto poliester, to the silkscreened basic layout. On the other hand, other examples will be shown such as reprinting new information directly with other basic stencil methods.
