Who this list is for
This checklist is for anyone attending a screen-printing workshop, especially if it’s instructor-led and you need to bring your own artwork or fabric. It’s ideal for first-timers and hobbyists who want to make sure they meet studio requirements and don’t forget supplies that keep the process smooth and mess-free.
How to use this list
Start by confirming your workshop booking and reading any instructions from the studio. Prepare your artwork in the requested format—digital file, transparency, or paper. Gather printing blanks that the studio has approved, such as t-shirts or tote bags. Pack an apron, clothes that can get stained, and closed-toe shoes for safety. If you have long hair, add a hair tie. Bring a notebook for notes and reminders. Confirm with the studio that screens and inks are supplied, and pack a flat carrier for taking your finished prints home. Cross off items as you pack or confirm them.
What to skip
Don’t bring unapproved fabrics or blanks, as studios often have rules on what can be printed. Avoid wearing open-toed shoes or your favorite clothes—ink stains are hard to remove. Skip extra inks or screens unless the studio says to bring your own. Bringing unnecessary items can clutter your workspace.
