Screen printing on t-shirts
1 day course

£129 including 3 x t-shirts
Screen printing, sometimes called serigraphy or silk screen printing, uses the method of creating an image on paper or fabric by pushing ink through a screen mesh with areas blocked off by stencils. This process is ideal for printing onto T-shirts. You could commemorate a significant event, make your own tour t-shirt or simply create a unique piece of clothing. On this one-day course we will use photo emulsion to expose the image onto a screen. Images can be photos, drawings, text or any combination of all three. Learn how to develop your image or photo to create a personalised design. Learn how to set up the equipment, mix inks and use a squeegee to print on to your t-shirts. Focus on image registration for your layers to print your final design.
