Overview

Suitable for the beginner, through this course of 12 lectures and an hour of video content, you’ll learn everything you need to print single-color images onto t-shirts or fabric. 

First, I’ll show you the supplies you’ll need to get started and then how to create a padded work surface to attach your fabric or t-shirts to.  Once our workspace is ready to go, I’ll take you through everything you’ll need to know to create a screen using one of your original designs.  I’ll show you how to stretch the screen-printing fabric, attach it the frame and make it waterproof.  Then I’ll demonstrate how to transfer the design and use drawing fluid to block out the areas of the screen that the dye will penetrate, before finally filling the rest of the screen with screen filler—so dye doesn’t end up where it shouldn’t. Once you complete this course you will have the know how to create almost any design onto a screen and the confidence to experiment with other print techniques
