Class Description

Description

In this 4-hour intensive workshop you will learn how to make your own silkscreening set-up that can run right off your kitchen table. You will learn how to prepare a screen, transfer an image, and make a print from start to finish.

We supply a tote bag, or you may bring your own t-shirt. Let us guide you through this notoriously tricky medium so that you can print at home with confidence.

Important Things to Note: 
  • You will be given t-shirts and/or tote bags to print on, in class. 
  • Please wear clothes that can get messy.
  • The art [design] should be no bigger than half of a letter sized paper. 
  • If you are able to bring it already printed onto acetate, you will be able to bypass the tracing step of the process.
Note:
$40 Materials fee payable on the first day of class includes 4 tote bags, reusable screen, squeegee and take home instructions. 

Bring your ideas and design references for what you might like to print - bold graphic shapes work best! Any additional clothing or items you may want to print on are welcome but optional.

Refund Policy

Full 8 business days before class time for rescheduling. No refunds.

    This was a great starter course. Super laid back, but so informative. We had a great time and Eric was an awesome instructor.
  • DIY Silkscreen Printing Workshop

    I really enjoyed my time in this class! Erik was very patient and prepared for just about any question we threw at him. We made a solid use of the time allotted; I almost wish I brought along more materials to practice on. I highly recommend this class.
  • DIY Silkscreen Printing Workshop

    Amazing !! Erik was super friendly and helpful - you will learn all the fundamentals you need to create silkscreen prints at home, and you’ll walk away with a stencil you can use over and over again!
  • DIY Silkscreen Printing Workshop

    Erik was a very informative instructor who made the learning experience a pleasure.
  • DIY Silkscreen Printing Workshop

    Eric was a really great instructor. Really enjoyed the workshop. Eric was extremely knowledgeable, but also laid back and very friendly- a nice combination for a teacher. I think the class should be no more than 6 people or there should be a larger area to work in. Wish there were a workshop to work on a little larger format as an intermediate step.

    I couldn't make the class with a last minute work change, so I sent my son ...he l
  • DIY Silkscreen Printing Workshop

    Eric did a fantastic job teaching the class. He was friendly, thorough, and hands-on. Everyone's project came out well as a result. We also had a small class which helped. I would definitely take another version of this that went past the basics.
  • DIY Silkscreen Printing Workshop

    Great class! Very relaxed and easy going, yet hands-on. I am excited to have learned enough about silkscreening to create my own pieces and I will be exploring this fun medium further in the future. Thanks!

    I had a great time despite an initial hiccup (mostly my fault). The class was very informational and entertaining. The instructor--Erik--was super helpful and patient. The Trestle space is lovely, albeit a little out of the way location-wise. All my expectations were lived up to. I feel like I have a very good handle on the screen printing process and can't wait to make more! (About the hiccup: Due to transportation issues, I arrived 20 minutes late--my bad!--when I tried to access Trestle, the door was locked, the doorbell did not function, and there was no indication of how to get in w/o assistance. The instructor--again, he was great--had provided his contact info in an email to all the attendees the day before. I called and texted him but got no answer so I stood by the door for another 25 minutes. The instructor finally received my messages and let me in! Luckily, I was able to catch up with the rest of the class but while I was outside I was afraid I would either need to give up on the class--and lose my tuition--or I'd be so far behind, it wouldn't be worth taking the class at all.)
  • DIY Silkscreen Printing Workshop

    Class space was too small for the number of people showed up. And in fact 2 others were supposed to be there too. As a result, it was hard to get table space for the final much anticipated printing on the cloth step. (I had smudges from others' on my work.) Instructor himself was very helpful and nice in general.

    The class was fun, very informative and the instructor made it really easy to follow along and understand the process.
