Intro to Screenprinting (Day 2 of 2)
April 20, 2017
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This class will teach you the basics of screen printing, and you’ll end up with over a dozen t-shirts that you made yourself!
You’ll learn how screen printing works, why it’s used and what makes it fun. You’ll learn about what equipment is needed, the ink, what t-shirts are best, and how to best pull a squeegee.
Before class, we’ll need you to send us a design of your own (if you don’t have one, we can help you choose something that you might like). We’ll create a screen of your design, and THAT is what you’ll screen print onto your shirts! You’ll start by practicing with Duluth Screen Printing and/or Duluth Folk School logos, and then move on to your own shirts.
When you’re done, you’ll get to keep your Duluth Folk School and Duluth Screen Printing practice shirts, and you’ll have TEN of your own custom shirts that you created yourself! These would be great gifts for friends, family, special occasions, or… ??
You’ll leave the class with:
- Ten T-Shirts with your custom design
- Two or three Duluth Screen Printing Tees
- Two or three Duluth Folk School Tees
Location
Class will be held at the Duluth Screen Printing shop, located at 31 East 1st Street, in downtown Duluth. You can park right in the parking lot.

Can responsible 15 year olds take this?
Hi there – yes! Let us know if we can answer anything else.
I hope this is crazy popular and offered again as I’m going to be out of town and would LOVE this.
We hope so too!
Do we bring our own shirts?
Hi Chrissy. Great question! Nope, shirts will be provided. As we get closer to the class, we’ll check in with everyone to get their sizes.
