Event Overview

Have you wondered what steps were taken to make that favorite t-shirt of yours? Ever think about how you could make your own? Then let's get to screen printing! After all, there's really nothing that can rival getting creative and making something with your own two hands.

This class is both informative and super fun, and intended for those who are looking to get started screen printing on their own. Broken into two parts, the first portion of class will concentrate on the set up. Through hands on demonstrations we will use both traditional and DIY methods to get you prepped and ready for successful printing. From there, you will be set free to print your heart out using a variety of pre-designed screens.

The goal of this class is for you to walk away with one of a kind, hand printed goods made by your own two hands along with the knowledge of how to kick start printing on your own. The sense of accomplishment is pretty killer!
