Get ready to leave your mark! For the May edition of Second Sundays, we are turning the shop into a high energy printing station. Moms are welcome (as is everyone)! Or if you are a mom and have been brunched in the face, come out to get some me-time in the makerspace! This is a casual, social gathering where members can experiment with different ways to get designs onto fabric and paper. Whether you want to customize a t-shirt or create a one of a kind patch, this is the perfect time to play with our printing tools in a supportive group setting.

What to Expect

This is a hands on, collaborative meetup focused on multiple printing methods. We will have stations set up for screen printing, ink pressing, and heat transfers. You will have the chance to see how different equipment works and get help from fellow makers as you apply designs to your gear. It is a great way to learn the basics of the print shop or finally finish that custom apparel project you have been planning.

What to Bring

  • Items to Print On: Bring your own blank t-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, or fabric scraps. Free paper will be provided by us! 
  • Ideas and Designs: Bring your creativity or any specific graphics you want to try and transfer.
  • Snacks to Share: We’ll provide some basic refreshments, but feel free to bring along a favorite treat to share if you're feeling inspired.

Who Should Join

This meetup is open to the public and makers of all stripes. If you enjoy making things and meeting creative people, you belong here! This session is all about sharing tips and making cool stuff together.

Important Details

  • Frequency: Meets every second Sunday of the month.
  • Cost: Free and open to the public.
