Sunday was t-shirt screen printing workshop day. I set up 3 tables to form a long work bench in the living room, and the bathroom and kitchen were transformed into print areas. The chandelier and curtain rod served as drying racks. 8 friends gathered to learn the basics of screen printing.

There are physical and mental challenges. The mental ones include getting one's mind wrapped around the idea of positive and negative space, and using various liquids to fill one or the other. The tricky physical part is applying even pressure to the squeegee combined with a balance of lateral and downward pressure when forcing ink through the screen.

Everyone learned quickly; before long, there was a flurry of activity as screens were peeled off t-shirts and t-shirts were triumphantly hung to dry.
