About this event
Fabric is a fantastic and flexible substrate to print onto and can be translated into a great range of applications. This hands-on introductory class will provide instruction on the screenprinting process specifically for fabric—with a twist: using fluorescent ink under black lights! Whether you’re gearing up for Halloween or want to impress at your next party, your prints will certainly stand out in a crowd! During class we’ll cover sourcing printing equipment and materials, preparing your personal artwork for screenprinting, various artistic printing methods, heat setting a printed image, and fabric care. Upon registration, we’ll provide guidelines on how to source and/or create your images in advance. In addition to whatever fabric you choose to bring with you, we’ll supply several patch-size fabric squares and black cotton tote bags for you to print on—just in time for the trick-or-treat season! Level: Beginner – no previous experience necessary Registration closes October 17, 2026. Material fees are included to cover consumable materials provided in class. Students will also need to supply additional items of their own—please see the materials section below for details.
