PROJECT OPTIONS
T-shirt Silkscreening $18 / artist
Our T-shirt Silkscreening project is a combination of painting and printmaking. We'll start by printing on paper to create posters that your guests will then add color to using liquid watercolor. As they paint, guests will work individually with our teaching artists to print their chosen design on a t-shirt. Artists will leave with their own unique hand-printed apparel! The birthday child will choose from a catalog of silkscreened designs for their party and each guest will print on an organic cotton tee.
Bandana Printing $10 / artist
Our Bandana Printing project is a combination of fiber arts, silkscreening and stamping. We'll start by each guest silkscreening a design onto their colored bandana. Then, artists will use wood cut stamps to create patterns or designs around their central print. The birthday child will choose from a catalog of silkscreened designs for their party and each guest will print on an organic cotton bandana. Bandanas will be heat set so they can be repeatedly washed and worn!
