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.
