Discover the art of screen printing in this hands-on "Art Night with Avery" class.

In this class, participants will learn each step of the process—from applying light-sensitive emulsion and burning a design into the screen to printing the image onto a shirt and heat-pressing the final image for lasting quality.

Participants have the option of bringing a one-color design of their own (must be pre-approved), or choose from a selection of ready-made Hope Studios designs. This class involves working in low light due to the light-sensitive photo emulsion process, so participants should feel comfortable in dim lighting.

At the end of the class, you will leave with your custom, hand-printed t-shirt and the custom screen you created—ready to use again!

This event is sponsored by the University of Alaska Anchorage Center for Human Development through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
