Beginners Silkscreen Workshop - T-shirts

I am a silkscreen printer originally from North England (Sheffield). I work near NDSM at a T-shirt printers called Superette. Superette works only with eco friendly water based inks and is GOTS certified.  I studied illustration but always loved the DIY aspect of silkscreen printing and often experimented at home. I really enjoy that clothing can be a form of communication, be it self expression, a sense of humour, political or otherwise.
