I wanna take a course on screen printing and I'm in vancouver - anybody know of a place to do it?

printing by hand?

matt, if you are doing it by hand, like bonseff mentioned, you should just buy a book and then try to sit in at a local screenprinter. taking a class will be a huge waste of time. they will teach you about color separations and things that you already are aware of.

I just wanna start doing some of the stuff at home instead of sourcing it all out - too save some money.
I bought a kit but it looks complicated hehe - anybody know any good resources?

printing shirts by hand is a huge pain in the ass. i only print paper by hand. the last time i printed t's by hand was a disaster. way too much prep. and forget about registration.
but if you want to invest, there are always machines on ebay that make printing t's a breeze

looks like they locked that site down for members. used to be a free for all.
