SUMMARY:Electronics Faire - Screen-printing with the Vinyl Cutter for Community Repair (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:In the second part of this series\, participants will first 
 learn how to weed their design\, and then use transfer tape to transfer 
 their vinyl cut designs to 110 mesh screenprinting frames. They will then 
 learn how to distribute water-based screenprinting ink and then use a 
 squeegee to print their designs onto old shirts. (It is best to let the ink 
 air dry and then heat set on the fabric\, but the same screen can be used 
 to print the same design as many times as desired\, but once it is washed 
 off\, it cannot be reused.)\n\nI am inspired by the reparative community 
 work happening in Minneapolis by Art Price Studio\, a cooperative 
 screenprinting space that became a community hub and resource for folks who 
 wanted to print messages of resistance on their own clothes. The idea of 
 this workshop is to both “repair” by upcycling old clothes and also 
 “repair” community morale\, strengthening connections of crafting and 
 activism. Participants will be empowered to make their own designs\, and 
 then in turn will be asked to offer screenprints of their designs to the 
 Philadelphia community during the Electronics Faire.\n\nBring a shirt\, 
 bag\, or other fabric item to print on!\n\nAbout the Instructor:\nEmily F. 
 Brooks is an Associate Director of Digital Research in the Humanities at 
 the Price Lab for Digital Humanities. As her academic persona\, the 
 “makeademic\,” she emphasizes experimentation to advance knowledge at 
 the intersections of digital humanities\, book history\, pop culture\, and 
 design. She enjoys teaching others how to become makers using various forms 
 of technology including microcontrollers\, laser-cutters\, 3D printers\, 
 augmented reality\, and more to create prototypes that span the 
 analog/digital divide.
