Screen print a design of your own choice onto a t-shirt, a tote bag or onto paper.

Screen printing is the process of transferring a stencilled design onto a flat surface using a mesh screen, ink and a squeegee. It’s popularity exploded in the sixties, largely thanks to Andy Warhol, and it’s now everywhere, from movie posters, record album covers, flyers, shirts and advertising to artwork.

You’ll be able to print in a single colour – with a huge range of colours available to you – and you’ll just need to send us the design you’d like to print a week before the workshop.

You’ll be able to take your own t-shirt, tote or print home with you at the end of the workshop.

In advance

Please supply the image you’d like to print no later than 10 days before the date of the workshop, by emailing it to hello@thepeoplepoweredpress.org

Please ensure it’s a single-colour image. PDF, EPS, AI, TIFF or PSD files are best, but we can also work with JPG, PNG and GIF. Your image should be provided as high-resolution (300dpi +) if possible.

If you have any trouble with your image, or don’t know how to get it to us, just drop us a note at the same email address, and we’ll help you out!

What to bring with you

- Clothes that you won’t mind getting a little bit dirty (aprons will be provided)
- A way of paying for your organic t-shirt (£5), tote (£2) or nice printing paper (£1)

Making the People Powered Press' workshop Covid-safe

Although we’re launching this season of workshops at a time of uncertainty about future Covid-19 restrictions, we’re making sure that the workshop is designed and equipped to keep you safe and comfortable now, and in the event of any future developments.

So here’s what's being to make the People Powered Press a safe, creative place.

• Staff will be tested for Covid on the morning of the day on which any workshop will take place.
• All participants will be asked to take a Covid test before travelling to the workshop.
• The space will be well ventilated, using our in-built extraction system and an air purifier.
• We have sanitiser stations around the space and there are wipes for cleaning surfaces and shared equipment.
• Masks will be worn inside the building if and when official guidance indicates that they should.
• We will provide workspace dividers if and when official guidance indicates that we should.

We’ll regularly review all these measures against the latest government guidance, and we hope that this will reassure you that you’re in a comfortable, safe environment, and that we’re taking your safety very seriously indeed.
