I went to a very cool event this past weekend at the Sarasota Art Center. They had 13 local artist that dabbled in screen printing, some more professionally than others. You could buy a ticket for $5 and the artist would print his or her design on your item (clothing,canvas,or anything really) right in front of you. I should add there were only 3 women and 10 men, hmmmmm. All the same, fun for the entire family.
So, yes, I came prepared! I even took the sweatshirt off my back and had it printed on, that wasn't in the plan when I dressed that morning! HA!
Printmaking is such a fun and versatile medium. I think I need to consider printing on different items too! Below are some pictures from the event and two of the items I had printed. My kids got in on it too, one picked a field of lime green cows and another a large lotus flower you'll see below!
