May: Intro to Screen Printing Workshop

Design Your Own Apparel: Intro to Screen Printing Workshop

Screen printing allows you to create unique, custom designs on all sorts of materials—clothing, posters, tote bags, and more. It’s a hands-on way to express your creativity, whether you're designing for yourself, your community group, or as an artist.

Join us for a hands-on fabric screen printing workshop at the Brisbane Tool Library in Northshore, where you’ll learn the basics in a relaxed 2–2.5 hour session.

We’ll kick things off by explaining how to build your own screen printing frame using basic carpentry tools from our inventory. Then, working in pairs using pre-made Tool Library stencils, you'll create two fabric prints: one to keep and one for us!
