Over this full day intensive workshop, you will be taught the entire step by step process of textile screen printing and everything that it involves. You will get hands on experience with exposing the screens with your own artwork, then printing and heat setting your designs onto fabric. During this course you will learn about designing specifically for screen printing and how to set up at home.

No experience necessary, there will be help at every step. We highly recommend taking our stencil workshop, Learn to Screen Print in a Day! before enrolling in this workshop.
