During 90-minute Intro to Screen Printing classes, Barrel Maker Printing’s T-shirt beautifiers share skills they use to print up to 7,000 shirts a month for a list of high-profile clients that includes the U.S. Department of Agriculture and a multitude of local bands. Classes of up to 15 people receive a brief overview of the process, essential equipment, and types of ink, from industry-standard Plastisol inks to soy-based shades. Darkroom time covers the steps spent transferring images to screens and inspecting designs for pinholes that could mar the shirt or transform into a decorative belly button. Skilled inkers demonstrate printing techniques on multicolor printing presses and then hand the reins over as each pupil selects two high-quality, fashion-fit tees to bedeck with one of eight preselected single-color designs to take home. Barrel Maker Printing offers each student a 10% discount on future custom printing to further their wardrobe customization or to outfit a platoon of body doubles with copies of their favorite Van Halen shirt.
