Screen Print Your Own Design

This is a ClassBento LiveBox class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or just enjoy with some like-minded others. As seen on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and more. Here's how it works:

1. Request your preferred time
2. We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft box containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 14 business days . We ship nationwide.
3. Enjoy the online class. You'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. On the day of the class, use that link to join the class. Class sizes are kept small, so you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

This is a beginner-friendly live streaming class for anyone who has ever wanted to learn how to screenprint!

The screen printing kit provides all the fun of screen printing at home without any of the hassle of the setup and you don't need a fully equipped studio but rather a table/print space, access to water and your lovely enthusiastic self.

I will provide a link to a private 45 minute zoom tutorial session where I will instruct you how to print. Please note that although the tutorial session lasts 45mins you are more than welcome to continue printing after the session. This package will give you the skills you need to enable your future printing endeavours.

You will receive an email with all the details you'll need to set up your print space prior to your session.

What you need to do:
Please get in touch with me about your design so I can advise you if it will translate onto screen well. I recommend simple linework/ solid shapes/ silhouettes for beginners. You will need to email your design to me as a black design on a white background and provide sizing details. You're welcome to send multiple designs as long as they can fit within 22-33cm.
