screenprint, 8.25X11"



I'm having a huge internal debate with myself. I am thinking about enrolling in a printmaking class at Brookhaven for the fall. Out of county charge is @ $215. The plus side to that is **acid for plate etching**, **printing presses**, **school supplied ink**.
The downsides include *30-45 minute commute*, *insanely crowded lab*, *questions like 'aren't you supposed to be in graduate school?'*, *act as reference for everyone who doesn't know what they are doing (very time consuming)*.

I will note that now I am more familiar with the screen process, it will be fairly easy to set it up at home. The most complicated part would be clearing out space in the art hole. I still can't etch here. Or print etchings. Or lithos. I suspect Don's evening class won't be too crowded and he would give me more latitude on attendance.

I LOVE this print!!!


I would be willing to bet that the schedule of getting out of the house a couple of days a week and having something definitive to do would be good!

I'm leaning that way a bit myself. I do want to set up to screenprint at home now, but all the other things I don't have the money or room for here (like the presses) are something to consider.

Thanks!
