Join Circus Print Shop for an evening of hands-on screen printing inspired by our neighborhood! Learn how a screen-printed design goes from artwork to ink to fabric, then take part in printing a limited-edition Arbor Hill design onto your own shirt, tote bag, or other fabric item.

Bring a clean, flat, cotton or cotton-blend item to print. Light-colored garments work best for darker ink; dark-colored garments work best for lighter ink. A limited number of print-ready items may be available while supplies last.

All ages are welcome. Come make something, meet your neighbors, and leave with a wearable piece of Arbor Hill. No registration required. Just come out!
