Screen Print Totes

  • Minnesota Center for Book Arts 1011 South Washington Avenue #100 Minneapolis, MN, 55415 United States (map)

Saturday, August 8; 1–4pm CT

Screen print your unique design on a set of three totes!

In this in-person workshop, discover how to screen print without a darkroom, using hand-cut wax paper stencils instead. Instruction will cover stencil design, hand-cutting techniques, fabric ink, and tips for printing on fabric.

Bring your sketches and ideas to the workshop. Final designs should fit on a letter-sized sheet of paper (maximum width 8.5 inches). Simple designs are encouraged.

Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category A or D
