Make a Statement with Screen Printing

with Yeji Kim

Saturday, July 27, 2024, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

Tuition: $125 per family

This workshop includes lunch at 1:00 p.m.

Collaborate on your own screen printed family T-shirt design! For decades, graphic T-shirts have been used to convey a wide array of statements, spanning from comical and heartfelt to political and satirical. We will explore how T-shirts have served as a medium for diverse commentaries, and then each family will formulate their own statement and design accompanying graphics. Every participant will then print their family’s design on their own shirt. White T-shirts of various sizes will be provided; bring your own other printable cloth or paper if you so desire.
