I am reasonably certain that i can get screen printing working within the next week. So lets plan a screen printing workshop.
When: Nov 27th from 6pm to 8pm
Topic: Screen Printing basics.
How to reclaim a screen.
How to use UV emulsion to make a stencil.
How to print a T-shirt
How to heat set a T-shirt so that it is wash safe.
This should be everything you need to know to make a one color print
Cost: mandatory $25 dollar donation to Hack Space for T-shirts. Every attendee should mean 1 T-Shirt for the attendee, and 4 T-shirts for the hack space, if there are no scraps, which there will be.
I am hoping this workshop will be the very beginning of a conversation about the wonderful world of screen printing and how it can bring your designs into the real world.
Hi @yeungx,
Thank you, I would like to join in; if space is there can a non-VHS member friend from Point Roberts (South of Delta, Washington state) join in?
I am a new member, so I am not familiar with all the rules, but if there are no rules against outside member participating, I would love for them to join. As long as they make the required donation of course.
If there is a lot of interest, and we are too full, I will simply hold the work shop again.
Yes, I saw that it’s for T-Shirts.
(I have tried the Toner Transfer method for PCB and then etched it to less than satisfactory results; may be it needs a clean room for the process to be better).
I am in - I have a work event that day which will likely have me arriving late though. I ceed my spot to anyone that can make the whole show if you hit your head count, but can still pay the $25 regardless to build the tshirt library and add a VHS one to my wardrobe.
Im coming if there is still room
Also I have some spare screen printing equipment (two 2’*3’ woodem frame screens, screen drawing fluid, screen filler the brick colored stuff, a wider squeegee, I think like foot and a half) and spare speedball inks, and washing fluids) if you need any of these let me know
If you missed this workshop, don’t worry, If there are interest I will put more on. And as the my technique and setup improves, I will put on more advanced tutorials to expand upon these basics.
