MEMBERSHIP | CO-OP | ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
We are a group of screen printers who love what we do and take screen printing seriously. DIY Printing is a professional screen printing studio where we learn from artists and educate others about screen printing through community education and programs we set up with local businesses and non-profits.
Our silk screen studio is now free for artists to use in exchange for help or putting in time at DIY Printing. We do this because we want to build a community of artists that want to work with DIY Printing on projects including fine art print series and anything else that pushes our boundaries.
To become part of DIY Printing please submit your portfolio to our panel of screen printers to be accepted. You can also submit five digital images to aarontkent@gmail.com and we will get back with you within two weeks. We look forward to printing with you!
