Screen Printing Class for Teens

Looking for unique experiences in Melbourne for your teens? Express your creativity and discover just how easy and fun it is to screenprint!

In this three hour class, teens can choose a design, pick a colour, and transform their own t-shirts, hoodies or pillowcases. At studiotroika, our beautiful, light-filled space in North Fitzroy, teens will be introduced to the basics of screenprinting, gaining an understanding of the equipment and materials needed.

We will have screens pre-prepared with a range of prints to choose from. Bring along some plain 100 per cent cotton items so there is plenty to print and take home.

Our studio uses eco-friendly water-based inks and we'll be experimenting on supplied calico cloth.
We will provide teens with a tote bag that they can print with their original design and take home.

Extra tea towels and tote bags are available to purchase at $5 per item or you can bring t-shirts/ pillowcases/ tea towels with you to print your original design onto (100% cotton or linen works best).

We also have many designs exposed onto screens which you are welcome to experiment with throughout the class!

This is a fun class focused on learning the basic techniques and then exploring the myriad ways screenprinting can be utilised. Come along, grab a squeegee and get creative!

Please note: If there is a more complex image you would like to expose on-screen (photographic image etc), please contact your teacher one week prior to your workshop to discuss this. There is an additional charge for exposing your own artwork onto screens ($45).

• Screen with your own artwork. We will need the artwork 1 week prior to the class ($45)

• Cotton calico fabric for test printing.
• A range of ink colours.
• Teens will be provided with all materials necessary for the workshop. (Screens, inks, squeegees and calico to print on).
• Choice of a tote bag or tea towel for your final original print, to take home and enjoy!

• We will have blank tote bags and tea towels for purchase at $5 per item. Teens are also welcome to bring along plain t-shirts or pillowcases to print their designs onto (100% cotton or linen works best in light base colours).
• Screenprinting can be a little messy at times. We will provide teens with an apron but it's best not to wear precious clothes! Enclosed shoes are also required.
• Bring along any design ideas and we will help teens turn them into reality!
