Introduction to Colorful Screen Printing for Clothing

“Thank you for joining us on this screen printing course! We hope you’ve learned a lot about developing your own design and the process of screen printing onto a t-shirt. It is now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the design you started while completing the exercises or you could start a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help us understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Find visual inspiration and develop a unique illustration. Tidy up your sketch in Procreate so that it's ready to turn into a print design.

Ink your design onto acetate. Prepare your screen by degreasing it. Then, mix your photo emulsion and coat the screen. Expose your screen and, once fully exposed, rinse out your design. Take your finished screen and use your inks to print your design onto your t-shirt using your squeegee. Finally, when your ink is dry, heat cure your design to make sure it lasts! We can't wait to see what you have created! Upload your Final Project by clicking on "Create your project" and get involved with your peers. We’ll do our best to respond to each and every one of your comments as soon as possible. Thank you for trusting us and we hope to hear from you soon!”
