Entry Level - Start-up and Introduction to screen printing
Disponible en Español

Entry level screen printing classes are typically the most important, because they create the foundation upon which to build your business and start earning money. Being hands on allows students with trials and errors, learn from their mistakes and understand the potential gaps between theory and practice.
Everyone is unique in terms of how they learn and their individual needs. This is why having a class that's tailored made will provide the results you need much faster than in a general group setting.
