I am happy to report that we hosted our program on Monday night and it was a success! 99% of the teens walked out with a successfully screen printed t-shirt. As always, I had printed out instructions that the teens could take home and a sample of books that they could check out from the library to help them further explore screen printing. We did screen printing on paper and t-shirts. There was one shirt, our first, that we had to try and fill in some, but otherwise it went really, really well.
Using multiple laptops to one Silhouette Cameo cutter meant we could have more than one teen designing at once and we could just move the USB from latptop to laptop to do the actual cutting. I believe you can have 1 Silhouette set up on up to 5 devices.
Before working on a shirt, we had each teen practice on a piece of card stock paper. If they were satisfied with the result, they would then screen print their shirts. Although we had squeegees available, which is the traditional way you screen print, most of the teens preferred to use a foam paint brush to help prevent bleeding under the stencil.
Not only did my teens learn how to screen print, but I did as well! This was a fun, successful, and relatively inexpensive program. It had a steep learning curve for me personally, but watching those teens successfully create their own shirts and seeing that joy and pride was 100% worth it.
Erin was originally inspired by her colleague Tampa Enoch-Reese at the Mebane Public Library in Mebane, NC who did screen printing with her teens for Summer Reading. She used old frames and stapled the material to the frame. Erin used embroidery hoops. She combined this Instrustable with the image from the other site to make my screens. Here is her process in her own words.

For some time now I have been on a quest to get a screen printing station into my Teen MakerSpace. My research involved reading a ton of books, a lot of trial and error and visiting a local art studio that did traditional screen printing. The big stumbling block for us is that to make screens for screen printing, you have to do a technique that involves emulsion. This was a no go for us. The second stumbling block is that screen printing can take up a lot of space, something which is a very hot commodity for us; We are a small space.

Beyond the colorful graphics and hints at hipsterdom is an amazingly informative book on screen printing. A book that makes it seem like I could actually make and burn my own screens. Once I saw all the clear step-by-step pictures and read all the easily understandable instructions I wondered why screen-printing ever seemed so mysterious to me in the first place.
As we all know I am an instant gratification crafter and am currently pretty smitten on the ease and convenience of my YuDu, but I think it is important to understand the basis of screen printing. Plus Print Liberation is still a handy manual to have no matter what kind of screen-printing you are doing. Explanations of film positives, photo emulsion and how to reclaim a screen. The glossary alone is worth the price of admission. For the more daring and advanced screen printer there is also a section on printing a 3-color image which I am working up the nerve to try.
Other added bonuses of the book include a history or screen printing time line and a chapter on screen-printing as a business. I love how-to books that are more than just here is the project here is how you make it, rinse wash and repeat. In the back of the book there are transparencies for you to use and burn your own screens with. One of which is for a two-color screen.
If you happen to have a copy of Print Liberation on your shelf your boyfriends band would no longer have to pay to have gig posters made, you could redecorate that back bathroom that has been bothering you with custom wallpaper and you could cancel your subscription to Threadless because you would be screening your own witty T-shirts. Well maybe not all of these things, but Print Liberation will definitely inspire you enough to think all these things and more are possible.
I def want to take that class with Kat you and my friend Jen have taken it and given it rave reviews. Glad you are enjoying the book, I knew it was going to a good crafty home. I agree about the YuDu and needing to learn the fundamentals behind the process first. Today is day one of a week long screen printing extravaganza. Tuesday and Wednesday are all about the YuDu and my adventures with
When people talk to me about getting started in screen printing, I typically point them towards all of the usual suspects. Check out videos on Youtube -- Ryonet & Catspit are great places to start and learn about the process and equipment. If you need some supplies, buy them from Anthem, Blick, Ryonet, or Pocono Screen Supply; however, before i do any of that, I tell them to get a copy of this book, Screen Printing Today by Andy MacDougall. Andy wrote a book unlike any other that had been written before it, a book that covers modern screen printing from top to bottom. It is truly an exhaustive look at what goes into the process from creating art to putting that art into production via the almighty silkscreen. The book is loaded with pictures, so you don't just need to lean on words to gather concepts. The kicker is that he has plans for a vacuum table for flatstock *and* a plan for a t-shirt printing jig in the back of the book. This book is the resource to reference if you're just learning how to screen print, even if you've been printing for ages -- everyone can learn something from this book.
