good match for learning about silk screening and creating tshirts-different inks, different processes, the history of the tshirt. This class is not how to silk screen, but an introduction into the vocabulary, the culture, information to help make decisions as to what kind of shirt you'd like to make. I would recommend this class to those beginning their journey in tshirt design.
You need to go slow on this one. Bit once you do it's really worth it. Ray is a real expert. He tells you about the techniques and comes up with lots of different designs for inspiration. I enjoyed this workshop and will watch parts of it again. A bit of compensation for all the get rich fast starting a T-shit bizz content you have to work your way around.
