Process Spotlight: Screenprinting on Fabric

Print Your Own T-shirts and Tote bags



4 hours Location Pilsen Class size 1 to 8 guests   $65

Have a t-shirt idea or a graphic you’d love on a tote? This spotlight provides an orientation to screenprinting on fabric. We’ll move through the entire process of printing a one-color design on fabric using ecofriendly water-based inks. You’ll coat your own screen with photographic emulsion, use our darkroom to expose your image onto a screen, then we guide you through setting up your print station and the printing process. We’ll finish by reclaiming screens and heat-setting your garments so they’re wash-safe.
This is a great entry point for anyone curious about printing on fabric, and offers a foundation for larger or multi-color projects.
