Screen Print 102

Instructor: Eric Couture

Saturday, March 16, 12-4p

An introduction to screenprinting on t-shirts and fabric in general, this class provides a foundation to screenprinting on a manual t-shirt press! This workshop will cover all the steps to printing on shirts from coating to reclaim, and participants will come out with all the knowledge they need to go out and start printing shirts on their own! We'll cover coating screens, designing images for fabric printing, burning and washing out screens, setting up the press and registering your design, printing and curing shirts, and how to clean out your screens to reuse them! If time allows, I will also demo two-color shirt printing on the press, for those who want to get a little more adventurous.

*NOTE: Blank shirts are not included with the class registration. Please plan to bring 10-15 blank light-colored t-shirts, totes or scrap fabric to experiment with during the workshop. Basic screen printing recommended as a prerequisite.
