Derisory Designs

Learn how to screen print with Derisory Designs, and also meet King Lou

Aug28

We have a guest staying with us this week.

Turns out this guy flew ALL the way from the Bronx to Philadelphia just to check out the space we share with Fireball Printing and all the sweet work we all do. His tag informed us that he’s a part of the American Pigeon Racing Association and is from the Bronx. Paul and Katherine donned him “King Lou.”

We’ve been tweeting about it a little while (if you don’t follow us, hook it up) but we’ll be offering a screen printing class right in our workspace starting September 14th. It’s being offered in two parts, each runs for four weeks on Mondays from 6:30PM-9:00PM and costs $90. It’s pretty good deal, considering you’d be shelling out a considerable amount more take a class through a college, and you’ll be learning from the people who do it every day for a living. You know, the pros.

The classes are in conjunction with our friends at Pterodactyl Philadelphia (a creative art space) who will be offering a host of other classes starting in September. Here’s a quick overview of the course list

• SEWING FROM A PATTERN
• INTRODUCTION TO SCREEN PRINTING
• SEQUENCE/STRUCTURE/JUXTAPOSITION
• EMBROIDERY & BEADING
• MAKING COMICS FROM IDEA TO PRINT
• BACK TO BASICS: SIMPLE SEWING FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
• MOLD MAKING
• CONTEMPORARY CONCEPTIONS OF BONES AS MATERIAL
• ADVANCED SURFACE DECORATING TECHNIQUES
• INTRODUCTION TO ANIMAL SCULPTURE
