What you have to bring yourself:

1
Your handmade drawing or printed work (copyshop) on transfer (’transparant’) paper.

To burn your Artwork on the screen you have to work black and white only! For every colour you want to use you have to make a different sheet. Maximum format you can silkscreen is 50×70 cm; everything between that margin is fine.
Here a handy link on how to prepare the print you want to make: (Read: 2.Preparing Your Artwork)

Black water resistant marker, in case you have to change some details or to make some corrections on the transfer sheet.

SCREEN LOVER

Open Silkscreen Workshop

December 13 to december 23 2010, daily from 10am-6pm
// a collaboration of DZR & Mesh Print Club Rotterdam

For a period of ten days Mesh Print Club and De Zwarte Ruyter will fix up an pop-up silkscreen workshop at the Van der Takstraat in Rotterdam. Individuals as well as initiatives are invited to multiply their designs, work on some posters or print a stack of t-shirts while having a tête-à-tête throughout the process.

The workshop is open (and for free!) to anybody who is in the need of doing instead of complaining, anybody who wants to get loose on the smell of ink and anybody that wants to burn some wood during the dark days.

We have 400 kg of 400g thick ivory white paper/cardboard to print on. Ink is available for the material costs.

You never silkscreened before?

KSAT ISSUE no 3

Launch of Fanzine//

December 18 at 7pm
by Yasmine Tashk

An evening about Mind Trips with a live performance by Sötbox

About

KSAT is originally a french fanzine created by Yasmine Tashk based on the idea of collaboration and interaction between different artists using different medium to create around a same theme.

The third issue of the zine is about letting yourself travel in artists’ mind trips and pursue your own while getting inspired by theirs. The zine is based in Paris, France but it is a reunion of artists from many various countries apart from France such as Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, USA, Canada and Australia.

The evening will be about entering these mind trips and interacting and sharing yours.

This is the launch party of the 3rd issue where you could get one of the limited edition of the zine. The artists will exhibit their work, the swedish band Sötbox will perform a video/music performance and you will also have the opportunity to interact and fill up « non sense » book with your own contributions, thoughts and mind trips.

You are all welcome to join the journey and let the unusual side of your personality live freely during the evening.

When it’s a battle to try to step out of the way, none wants to be normal. So let’s not be.
