Hi fam! Curious if anyone here happens to do screen printing as a hobby or even as a small business. I’ve taken a class up in Louisville (I couldn’t find anything here) and am really wanting to continue to learn. Anyone here willing to take on an apprentice or have any words of wisdom? I’m just an artist really wanting to learn a new medium for both fine art prints and textiles
Hi all! I’m an artist interested in expanding my mediums! I just took my first workshop this week, figured I should test the waters before committing. I’m mostly interested in being able to take over shirt production for my partner’s trade business, and be able to make a part time income selling shirts/totes/prints at local markets, inside local artisan gift shops, and possibly taking on jobs for other small business in my community. I have such little experience at this point and would be learning as I go since there are no local classes in my area, so I don’t have any idea right now on how much and how efficiently I could actually produce. I don’t have equipment yet as I’m still trying to decide what to do. I’m hoping to be able to make around 30k/yr (US) from this venture. Is that a crazy goal or doable? Can a one man show with a small manual set up be profitable without working to the bone and crazy hours per week? I’m currently a “creative” working in finance and hating it so hoping to find an option that suits my personality and skills better.
