Screen Printing - design your own print

  • MAKEbhm 4000 3rd Avenue South Birmingham, AL, 35222 United States (map)


Learn the basic skills of screen printing in our print studio. This workshop provides a casual, fun introduction to the materials and processes you use to use silkscreen for printing, including a brief look at how screens are created, how to select and mix inks, and how to make a smooth print onto paper and fabric.

Don't worry, we'll have all the materials needed for class, all you'll need is yourself & your creativity.
In the meantime, you can start preparing your design!
Since this is dyo - we have some homework for you. Before the start of class you will be asked to submit a one color design to be printed on a few shirts or totes. Below are the design requirements.

Design specs & considerations:

  • Any standard file format will work for the draft (.AI, .PSD, .PDF, .PNG or .JPEG), hand drawing can be scanned or photographed

  • 1 color design, we can match almost any hex or Pantone color

    • Brighter colors print better on light fabric & paper

  • Shirts/totes sizing 11"x11" max printable area

  • Posters sizing 17"x11" max printable area
