Team RD Goes to the Haight Street Art Center
As one of our last team outings with Rare Device's former owner, Giselle Gyalzen, the staff met at the Haight Street Art Center for a night of screen printing!
After seeing their screen printing pop-ups at different outdoor concerts and city event, it was fun to go to their actual location for our own private class. The center is part state-of-the-art print shop, part art exhibition hall, and 100% a celebration to the "rock-poster history" that San Francisco has becomes synonymous for. We could have spent the entire night looking at the current exhibit that was up, a collection about the Punk movement in San Francisco from the 1970s-1980s.
For our class, we were lucky enough to have artist Brenna Daugherty let us use her watercolor painting of the Rare Device storefront for our screen prints. HSAC instructors Rebecca Rippon and Emily Peterson worked with us on color choices and walked us through the process step by step.
The Haight Street Art Center offers screenprinting classes for anyone 15 years old and up. You can take a 3 session Basics class or a Intermediate class. They also have single day workshops too! If you're interested, visit the link here.
