Painterly Processes With Silkscreen

authorStaff Writer on Sep 11, 2024

From commercial designs to fine art editions, the applications of silkscreen printing are vast. Traditionally a stencil-based process, silkscreen can allow for a design or composition to be reprinted indefinitely as an artist’s edition, or by varying color, placement and materials, can produce monoprints with uniquely experimental results.

On Wednesday and Thursday, September 25 and 26, from noon to 4 p.m., The Church will host “Painterly Processes With Silkscreen,” a workshop led by artist Susan Bachemin that offers an introduction to the process while also exploring the medium from an artistic perspective. Over two 4-hour sessions, participants will work through the planning, development and printing of a serigraph, learning how brushstrokes, fine lines and other mark-making techniques can be reproduced through a screen.

A materials kit with a printing screen, squeegee, paper pad and other assorted supplies will be included in the cost of admission and can be taken home following the workshop. All other necessary equipment and supplies will provided for the duration of the course. A variety of reference books will also be made available. No additional materials are required.

Susan Bachemin is printmaker-in-residence at The Church where she co-facilitates workshops as well as printing for individual artists in semi-private sessions. Her education includes film studies at the San Francisco Art Institute and a BFA in printmaking from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Eventually designing and executing her own site-specific silkscreen work from her NYC studios, Bachemin was a co-founder of the Brooklyn-based SB STUDIOS design partnership and has executed numerous public and private paint/print commissions featured in publications including New York Times Styles, World of Interiors, Architectural Digest and New York Behind Closed Doors.

Class size is limited to six to ensure an optimal participant-to-instructor ratio. Tickets for the two-day workshop are $350 and include all materials. Visit sagharborthechurch.org to register. The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor.
