    Erin made me feel comfortable with the process. Not so daunting after all. I’m looking forward to getting on with it now.

    Recently got my Creative Pass and I decided to explore the Creativelive library out of my usual fields of interest. Saw the title of the course and I said to myself - what is this? I literally had no idea about Screen Printing and that was actually the main reason I took the class. In just two hours I went from not having a clue to understanding the process and imagining me doing it :)) I'm not sure it will ever happen but I really enjoyed the class. Loved the style of teaching, very calm and confident, as well as the moderator's and students' questions which were filling up the gaps.

    I really enjoyed this introductory class. I have always wanted to try Screen Printing and now I am even more excited to give it a go. Stay safe.

    Great intro for beginners. Good overview of the whole process and the equipment needed. Fantastic!

  • E. Jun 1, 2019

    Great beginner course. Helpful terminology. Hope Erin provides a follow up for more complex printing (textiles please). Many thanks.

  • Derek F. Mar 8, 2019

    Perfect introduction for beginners.

  • L. Jan 2, 2019

    Wow, that was a great course. Erin is clear, engaging and encouraging. I would loooove to see a follow up course with her that explores some of the more advanced silk screen printing techniques that she mentions in the last segment. Great job!

  • Rachael S. Dec 26, 2018

    What a thorough walkthrough for beginners. There are so many tips and Erin covers every single item that you'll need for every step of the process. She's got all the bases covered.

  • Vicky M. Feb 12, 2018

    I loved this class and the instructor. Excellent and informative. Thank you so much.

  • I. Oct 2, 2017

    Woah! That class was jam-packed with goodies. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on it!

  • Karen S. Apr 11, 2017

    Great class! Fab teacher! So many times you take a class and the instructor may know their art but cannot convey it to the students. Erin was spot on and seemed to know just what you may be asking yourself as she taught the class and would answer that question! I really want to learn to screen print on fabric so will watch out for that. Very happy with this class!!!

  • Lorna L. Mar 21, 2017

    Great class. I studied screen printing at college 20 years ago and needed something to refresh my memory. The class was very thorough and Erin explained everything perfectly. I can't wait to get started!

  • X. Feb 23, 2017

    I was hoping to get some instruction on making the screen itself.

  • L. Sep 22, 2016

    Erin is such an outstanding instructor. She's just so confident with her topic and with her ability to communicate. This class helped me realize that I'm not ready yet to start screen printing, which in my opinion is just as important as recognizing when you are ready to try something.

  • Cory P. Aug 31, 2016

    This class was so informative. I appreciated that she covered possible "trouble" that one might run into and explained how to correct it. Cant wait to give it a whirl!

  • Tammy W. Jun 24, 2016

    Detailed description of the photo emulsion process. I like that she shows how to deal with problems that occur instead of pretending the process is perfect from beginning to end.

  • Cheryl T. Jun 24, 2016

    Loved this class so much, I purchased it half way through the complimentary viewing. With the step by step directions, and tips provided throughout the class, I went right out and purchased the supplies that I needed, and I am ready to do my first project! Having the class available to refer back to throughout the process gives me the confidence that I need. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone that would like to learn how to screenprint, the right way!!

  • Sandra N. Mar 18, 2016

    I RSVP'd and wanted to watch the class but I never found a link to it (it was never under the "on air" classes as I could see).

  • K. Mar 17, 2016

    I totally love this class. I've learned so much about screen printing that I knew nothing about! Erin is a great teacher and very knowledgeable about her craft. I can't wait to try this at home.
