Screen Printing 101 | A Walk-through of the Basics

Step behind the press with me in a working print shop and learn the entire screen printing process from film prep to clean up. 

With the help of 15 years of experience in screen printing and print shop ownership, I've outlined the full printing process as well as some tips and tricks for creating awesome printed apparel. We'll take an in depth look at formatting artwork, exposing a screen, setting up the press and pushing the squeegee to reveal the perfect print. Everyone can learn to screen print and create their own awesome designs to wear and share. 

From design to finished print, you'll learn how to:

• Prepare artwork
• Burn the design into a screen
• Set up on a printing press
• Push the squeegee to get a perfect print

Plus, I will share some common mistakes/ best practices to help guide you through some of the trickier steps in screen printing. 

While this class is intended to show beginners the basics of the screen printing process; all are invited to join this class. Whether you’re looking to expand your skillset for your own designs, open your own online shop, or make t-shirts for your brand, you’ll leave with the insider information you need to choose the right tools, and create awesome printed apparel.
