Are you a creative person making amazing merchandise, but don't know how to package it? Do you want to save on costs by printing your own packaging, or improve your current promotional design? If so, this workshop is for you! Using basic screenprinting techniques, we will focus on the basics of printing your bags, tags and labels. Please come with a sample of your merchandise and a desire to cooperate and share ideas with your fellow classmates. This is a beginner class.

Roy Liang has been crafting for a very long time but things turned around for him for the better after he took a silk screening course at Martha Street in 2006.

There are still some spots available in the workshop,  In Your Own Hands with Kegan McFadden, taking place this Saturday October 5 from 2:30 – 5:30.     The cost is $50.00 (no membership required).
