Screen Printing
IF YOU HAVE NOT USED OUR SPACE TO SCREEN PRINT BEFORE, YOU MUST TAKE AN INITIAL TRAINING SESSION.
✦ INITIAL TRAINING SESSION $60. This is a 1-on-1 orientation where we will guide you through the screen printing process and demonstrate how to use our screen printing equipment. Demonstration takes about 3 hours and will educate you on the screen printing process from beginning to end, including how to prepare a transparency, how to expose a screen, how to print a single-color print, and how to reclaim and degrease a screen. Includes a printout with instructions for you to keep, and access to the space to put your new knowledge into practice for 1 day. Yes, you can bring your friends to learn together, but each attendee must pay the fee. To book a 1-on-1 session, click here.
✦ SCREEN PRINTING 101 $30. This is an open screen printing training session offered quarterly. This session covers the same material as the 1-on-1 session. To see the next upcoming SCREEN PRINTING 101 session, click here.
