Thursday, December 18; 6–9pm CT

Screen print your unique design on three totes ahead of the gift-giving season!

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. These tote bags make wonderful reusable gift bags!

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
