Kids Screen Printing Workshop

Ages 9-12
Maximum 7 Participants

Ready to get sling around some ink?

This fun workshop is will introduce kids to the magic of screen printing. Always wanted a tote bag with a panda on it? You can make one! Need a t-shirt with a hotdog? You can do that, too.

Kids will work on crafting their own design using some handy tips about what makes a good image to screen print. After getting their image onto the screen they are off - mixing ink and printing away.

This class includes fabric for tests and trials as well as a tote bag to print onto. We encourage you to bring some shirts from home. They can be new or gently used - but just make sure they are washed.

Cost: $50 + $15 material fee

What is included:

Tote Bag
Fabric scraps for experimenting
Inks for use in class
Use of screen printing equipment

What is needed:
Packed snacks
Apron (or old clothes you don’t mind getting ink on)
T-shirts and other things you might want to print (washed!)

Location: Keephouse Studio / 5813 Highway 207, Seaforth
