Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any special knowledge in order to get the most out of this DIY masterclass?
There will be a need for basic to intermediate computer knowledge and the ability to do some hands-on tool work, but that’s really about it! Part of the allure of DIY is learning how to do things yourself, so on top of learning how to give your band the best chance of success, you’ll be learning and honing new skills.
What if I don’t have access to a ton of tools or an area to set up shop?
Not to worry, you don’t need an entire workshop to create anything. You’ll need only very basic tools and you’ll be shown alternative approaches in case you’re missing a tool. You’ll be able to make your own screen printing supplies and road cases in literally any space – even your living room!
How is it that the shirts I’ll make myself will be just as high quality as from a print shop?
Your prints will be just as good as the professional print shop because you’ll know the exact type of material to use, as well as how to use the different types of inks correctly. So that means you’ll be able to create high-quality merchandise without having to cross your fingers hoping that the print shop does a good job.
