You will be making stencils and printing your design onto T-shirts, with a maximum of three colours, creating bright, colourful and original designs for you to wear.

The aim of this course is to learn how to print onto T-shirts. Preparing screens and coating with a light sensitive emulsion, making a positive from a design using photo-shop, exposing the image onto the screen through ultraviolet light, the ultraviolet light will penetrate through the lines on the positive (the image), then using water through a pressure washer will wash out, revealing lines to allow ink to be pushed through with a squeegee for printing.
