Screenprinting Demo at the Spring Show!

The Crafty Supermarket spring show is less than two weeks away, and the excitement is totally palpable. One new thing we’re doing this time around is hosting a live screenprinting demo by the good folks of DIY Printing! Little kids and big kids alike can try their hands at “pulling a print” between 3 and 6 p.m. the day of the show, Saturday, May 7. Bring a T-shirt to print on, or use some of our paper to make a print from one of the pre-made screens.

Not sure what the heck we’re talking about? Screenprinting is a versatile printing medium that’s both accurate and tactile. Have you seen any of the Crafty Supermarket posters (like our latest, printed by Southpaw)? Those are screenprinted! If you’ve got a little one who’s interested in learning how screenprinting works, make sure to come to the show in the afternoon. The demo area will be on the right when you enter the main hall of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, right across from the welcome table.

Our holiday show yesterday was a huge success—thanks to all our amazing crafters and the 2,100 shoppers who came out to see us! Our trusty volunteers were integral to making the show work—we hope you liked the swag bags! The Clifton Cultural Arts Center was bustling with activity all day, and the fun just would not quit, thanks to PROJECTMILL DJ Ben Davis.

We also have to give a shoutout to our awesome food vendors: Cafe de Wheels, Dojo Gelato, La Terza Artisan Coffee Roasterie, Sweet Peace Bakery and Picnic and Pantry. Thank you for keeping us well fed and caffeinated!

We love all y’all!
