Fabric Screen Printing Workshop

Fabric Screen Printing Workshop

When: Saturday, August 11, 10-4

Cost: $75

Payable to Aleeda Crawley

Where:

Newark Print Shop

54 Halsey Street, Newark, NJ 07102

Parking is available at two nearby Park/Fast locations on Halsey Street,  and Bleeker Street, both 1/2 block away.

Materials: For the class you need to bring very little.  Solid, washed, ironed fabric, FQ size is best. I am not putting a limit on how many FQs you can bring.  DO NOT STARCH YOUR FABRIC or use ANYTHING except water for ironing.

Bring a towel for wiping your hands.    NPS has aprons for our use. Everything else will be supplied.

What to wear: Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little ink on!

Wear your super-comfy shoes because you will be standing for a good portion of the day.  It won’t feel like it until you head home with your printed fabric.

Lunch: NPS has a tiny fridge if you wish to bring your lunch, and there is a Whole Foods on the first floor.  There are fountains for water and refilling water bottles.

Important:  Because this is a member-sponsored workshop, participants need to  sign a hold harmless form when they arrive at the workshop site.

How to Sign Up: If you haven’t signed up with Aleeda already, send an email to her  at Acquiltsy@yahoo.com letting her know that you want to attend.  She will contact you with any additional information.
