Event Overview


Screenprinting is an accessible community-building activity that can be used to promote an event, design and produce merchandise, or advocate for a grassroots cause. Screenprinting projects can integrate personal expression and bridge subjects like art, economics, and history.


Educators and community organizers are invited to join Campfire Printing Press founders, Angee Lennard and Colin Palombi, to learn screenprinting basics and various ways to structure their own print projects in a variety of settings. Drawing on real examples from student and community projects, the workshop supports participants in designing projects tailored to their specific teaching or organizing contexts. 


Participants will gain hands-on experience developing easy-to-print images, setting up a print station, pulling prints on paper and fabric. Plus participants will be guided through troubleshooting and what to expect when printing “on site” with a large group of first-time printers.


Upon completion of the workshop, participants are authorized to reserve and check out Campfire’s portable screenprinting kits. The kits include everything needed to set-up a portable print station in a classroom or community space, including custom exposed screens.
