Silkscreening demonstrations
Tools for digital production and archiving
Tunes & greens (to use and to eat)

T-shirts, bags, patches, pants and other printable materials
The end product:
an online archive (Creative Commons licensed)

We will have a wall of images for inspiration and collage. If you won’t be in town for the event - send us your images! We’ll add them to the wall. All images from the event will be uploaded to an online archive and made into an edition of artists books.
