Screen Printing is used on so many products that we use every day, from our coffee mugs, our favorite t-shirts, posters, and stickers. Nearly everyone wears t-shirts and other printed apparel.

Screen printing is a fun creative, and rewarding business. Anyone with a passion for art and design will do great! If you have a garage, semi-finished basement or even a spare bedroom, you have the potential of being a screen printer. With a basic knowledge of the process and a little practice, you can start a new business. I've been screen printing for the past 10 years, and it's been great to me!  In this class, I will be taking you through my process of screen printing.
