If you are a graphics professional
or heavily involved in the art-to-positive graphics process,
our one-day Screen Printing Graphics Production Course was
designed for you.
This graphics course
goes into much greater detail than we can allow for in our three-day
Comprehensive Workshop/Class. The Screen Printing
Graphics Production Course expands upon the abridged graphics
curriculum from our three-day course by offering specific detail
and graphic production technicalities. It was designed to meet
the special needs we have identified from industry feedback
to focus some of our curriculum entirely on the graphic production
process.
Please note that this
class is not intended to teach vector or raster graphic programs.
A basic understanding and familiarity with these programs
IS a prerequisite for this class. With that existing
foundation to build upon, this course will help you integrate
graphics with the specialized needs for screen printing.

| Open
Question/Answer Sessions Are Encouraged |
As with
all of our courses, our students are encouraged to ask detailed,
technical questions of the instructor. Feel free to bring
preconceived graphic questions to the class in order to take
full advantage of your classroom experience. We believe that
open dialogue between the students and instructor will enhance
the entire classroom experience.
The Grendel's
state-of-the-art classroom presentation, supplemental hand-out
materials, and highly-encouraged question and answer sessions,
all combine to create an intensive and rewarding one-day course.
