Tim Dooley Screenprinting Factory

Come print in Tim's collaborative and innovative sweatshop as you create wearable art. This artist is known for creating a factory atmosphere in which wearable art and works on paper are produced. Participants will develop imagery by hand, photo, or computer generated which will comprise a bank of images to be used by the whole class collaboratively. These various images will be juxtaposed, layered, and/or multiplied through the process of screenprinting onto a variety of surfaces. Tim Dooley received his MFA from the University of Tennessee in 1997 and earned two bachelor degrees from Florida State, one in International Affairs, 1989 and a BFA in Studio Art, 1993. He has taught printmaking at the University of Northern Iowa, Alabama State University, and the University of Tennessee.
