1. Organization

Ink Storm is a collectively-run non-profit screenprinting studio. We offer affordable studio access to members and classes.

Description

The Ink Storm Screenprinting Collective is a group of individuals working to provide affordable public access to the skills and equipment necessary for screenprinting. We address the lack of affordable studio and workshop space in Halifax, inviting everyone to find creative expression through printed matter. We strive to create a community space for building ideas, sharing skills, and collaborating on projects. The Inkstorm Collective offers workshops for groups and individuals. Our beginner workshops are designed as an introduction for new screenprinters. Step-by step we will walk through the printing process; first learning how to design a black and white image that we burn onto a screen using light and and photo emulsion; we then print the image, using acrylic ink, on fabric and paper; and lastly we will washout the screen. Inkstorm also offers an intermediary workshop further exploring the design and printing process, and learning how to register prints with more than one layer for a multi-coloured effect. We are not for profit, all workshop and studio fees pay for rent, a small stipend for instructors, and studio supplies. We work in partnership with the Sad Rad music collective to create a public space, for visual art, music, and events. We are celebrating and promoting do-it-yourself art and handmade production as an affordable and accessible means of expression and creative process. We welcome you to the studio, if you would like to dabble in your own printing projects during our open studio hours, or have 24/7 access for you own print-storm.
