If you’ve ever wanted to create a graphic tee with your own designs, why not learn the art of screen printing and go the do-it-yourself route? This hands-on 2.5 hour experience will introduce you to the entire process of screen printing, from stencil to print!
The Screen Printing Experience
On the day, bring along a graphic or drawing that you would like to print. You will start by creating a stencil with your graphic. Your instructor will then teach you how to prepare the screen mesh and apply the stencil to the frame. Next, you will learn how to apply the paint to create your print. Finally, lift the frame and there you have it, your first screen print ready to impress!
For this workshop, you may choose to print your graphic on one of the following materials:
- a T-shirt,
- a cotton tote bag or
- a material of your choice
What’s more? You can take the screen home with you for another round of prints!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What kind of graphic can I use?
A: You may use any kind of image, but if you are a beginner, it is recommended that you start simple and choose an image with larger details.
Q: Will the paint run if I wash the item?
A: You will use fabric paint to make your print. As long as the paint has set completely, the colour is unlikely to run in the wash.
