print studio
In our print studio, we make posters, T-shirts, booklets, signs, and other graphic pieces—and we teach you how to make them, too. We have the capacity to screen print on paper or fabric, make prints from film photography, create zines or unique printed material with our Risograph, and learn the digital design skills to bring inspired ideas to print. Every student that takes a class leaves with several of their own pieces.

Intermediate Screen printing: Two-color Tea Towels & Totes
Price: $200
Pre-requisite: Any introductory screen printing class
Ages: 16+
The intermediate screen printing class gives a closer look at the process of printing with silkscreen, focusing on each step in preparing artwork for two-color printing. First we will focus specifically on preparing screens for printing (for which students will create their own artwork), including selecting design, coating screens, and using the darkroom; then we will focus on two-color printing techniques where the ink meets the paper.
You’ll need to provide your own two color design prior to class to use for your custom towels and totes - don’t worry, no need to be an expert graphic designer. We’ll be able to help get your designs from almost any sketch. We will have some stock designs to choose from as well.
Project-based one-on-one class
Duration: 4 - 5 studio hours
Price: $250+
Pre-requisite: Any introductory screen printing class
Ages: 16+
Interested in using the screen printing studio as a member? This class will dive deep into the full screen printing process & how to use the studio while creating a small batch run of your own design. Hannah of MAKEbhm & hm.prints will guide you through prepping your designs and printing transparencies, coat screens to burn, then move to ink selection & mixing. Once everything is prepped, we’ll move to printing a small batch of your project. Typically around 20 two-color prints or one color front and back prints. Prices can vary depending on project, additional screens & blanks added as needed.
This class is required for any new studio members who don’t have previous screen printing experience. Upon completion, folks will be able to schedule studio sessions while the building is staffed & then can move to anytime sessions once comfortable & competent in the studio.
