Screen Printing Open Session

You MUST take the SP 101: Intro to Vera's Screen Print Studio class before you can sign up for an Open Session

Vera’s screen print studio offers four-hour Open Sessions where individuals who have completed the introductory class may use our screen print lab to work on their own projects. Our Open Sessions are overseen by a volunteer moderator, who can provide advice and guidance for anything taught in our Screen Printing 101 class. We offer three ticket types at Open Sessions: Vacuum Table for paper and other flat media, T-shirt Press for shirts tote bags and other fabrics, and Screen prep for just screen preparation. Each ticket is limited to two. If the ticket you are looking for is sold out please add yourself to the waitlist to be notified when a ticket becomes available.

For Open Sessions Vera provides rentable screens emulsion and emulsion remover squeegees and basic tools like spatulas rulers tape etc.

Participants must provide their own substrate (paper t shirts etc) and water based ink. Vera does not allow the use of non water based inks at our studio as our studio is not set up to safely process non water based ink.
