Screen Printing

In this episode, I show you how to get started in screen printing using a screen printing press by Mekanika!

GET HANDS DIRTY is a popular YouTube Channel out of Portugal and created by Cristiana Felgueiras (https://www.youtube.com/c/GetHandsDirty).  From the About page for GET HANDS DIRTY, Cristiana states:   “This is all about inspiring you to build stuff with your own hands!  I’m Cristiana and I make pretty much everything you see and hear and I love developing my work on lots of different medias and processes.”

The Mekanika screen printer that Cristiana Felgueiras is using in this video is not currently available for purchasing in the United States.  However, the video does an excellent job of explaining how to do your own screen printing at home.  From assembling your press and preparing your screens, to tips on creating and printing your designs on a computer, to pressing your computer generated designs into your fabrics, Cristiana’s video covers it all!  She even shares mistakes she made along the way and the adjustments she made for next time.

There are several options for purchasing your own screen printing press on Amazon and we found some sites online that offer instructions for building your own.  We hope you enjoy watching Cristiana’s video and hope you will share your own screen printing experiences in the Comments below.
