learn to do screen printing

I’m working at a high school now where they have the ability to do screen printing. I should be checking this one off the list in a few weeks!

been listening to some podcasts and reading some interviews on how to get started on all of this. I don’t have time now but I’m active towards it at least.

favorite quote:

“You don’t actually have to learn that much to know how to do it. But then for the next year and a half after that we made horrible posters until we actually learned the right way to do it. We could print well within three years. It took us a lot of screwed up posters to make a good one. Really like there’s no set way to screen print. It’s almost like verbal. Like an oral history. You just kind of take bits and pieces of what works for you, whatever. It’s so lo-fi that you can get away with a bathtub and a homemade light table.”

I always see people wearing fun shirts that they’ve purchased and I always thought I could save soooo much money by making my own screen-printed shirts.
