vhs

VHS has several silkscreens and associated paraphenalia that can be used for community or personal projects.

If you have art that you would like to print onto t-shirts, posters, etc. you can bring it by the hackspace and burn it into one of our screens. Note that screens are a community resource, so 1) screens stay in the hackspace, and 2) a screen that you've lovingly stripped and burnt with your own design may end up being stripped and re-used by someone else, possibly without your knowledge or consent. For now, we're going to leave this as an unregulated process. If it descends into chaos and feuding, a silkscreening signup sheet and/or silkscreening moderator may appear.

At the moment we have:

• 6 silkscreens ~18”x24”
• 1 lightbox for burning screens (sadly too small for these screens - stay tuned, a bigger one will appear someday)
• 2 squeegees
• green silkscreening ink (water based)
• blue silkscreening ink (water based)
• UV reactive silkscreening ink
• screen stripper
• nitrile gloves
• brush for applying stripper

Any silkscreen-related donations are much appreciated.

We are all super-duper excited about the possibility of someday getting a laser cutter so we can make mind-blowingly badass stencils. If you're interested in donating to the future laser cutter fund, talk to us.

Registered folks can upload silkscreening designs to this page for future silkscreening extravaganzas.
