T-shirt Making Night started when people were asking for help with printing their own designs.

Silkscreen printing workshops are great and you learn a lot but it takes AGES and you need equipment.

I had some experience with transfer printing from working in a silkscreen company, so I started to think about how this could be used in a different way so that people with no experience with printing could also make designs.

Because the ink is high quality and water based, the transfers are sharp and bright and have a beautiful matt finish. The transfers can be applied quick and easy and you could make many different designs in a lot less time.

Participants can cut out shapes using scissors themselves or combine pre made small designs and colour. Everyone makes it work in their very own way making the whole process very pevrsonal and every outcome unique. So for someone wanting to print onto clothes who didn’t want 100 of exactly the same design, this seemed like a good solution!

T-shirt Making Nights Making Nights are small workshops held in various venues around Amsterdam and hopefully, soon in other cities too!

DIY Kits are the take home version of the Nights. A great gift with plenty inside to keep fingers busy by using a household Iron.
