Screwball Press Field Trip
Steve Walters, who has been referred to as the godfather of the Chicago screen printing poster scene, has been gracious enough to invite us into his studio, Screwball Press, located at 4045 N. Rockwell in Chicago. He has worked with many other notable Chicago poster artists, including Jay Ryan, whose workshop CIRF visited in January. To see examples of Steve’s work, check out his website. Steve will be showing us around his workshop and explaining his approach to screen printing.
We will meet at the Windy City Inn at 11:45 a.m. and proceed to Screwball Press from there. We will be meeting with Steve at 1 p.m.
IMPORTANT NOTE Due to space concerns, we must limit the YES RSVPs to 20 people. As a result, please RSVP Yes only if you truly, truly intend to go, as you will be denying another person the opportunity to be there. If your plans change, please promptly update your RSVPs. If the RSVPs have filled up before you had the chance to RSVP yes, you will be added to the waiting list.

KimEvent HostHead Pin BearerThis was a really fun meetup. Steve was really interesting and very generous. We each got to take home a poster that Steve printed for us yesterday and a cool book made from misprinted posters. It was also nice to see some new faces at the meetup. Thanks to everyone that came out.

Jess RSticky FingersEverything about this was awesome! Learned a lot about screen printing (I'd never seen the process in action) and am hoping to take Steve's class someday! I was really impressed with his approach and influence on the poster scene in Chicago. Such a laid-back, cool dude.

This is an incredible meetup. If someone isn't going to make it, I'd be more than happy to fill in. I've been thinking of writing an article on the screen printing scene for quite some time.
