Decorate a Mug with Sublimation
Learn how to create vibrant, durable, full-color decorations on mugs with sublimation printing and heat transfer!
Offered: Monthly
Duration: 2 hours
Registration: $40 (includes supplies)
Slides: N/A
Description: In this two-hour workshop, we’ll learn how to use our sublimation equipment to create a customized mug with full-color decoration! We’ll start by discussing sublimation printing and transfer - how it works, what it’s good for, and what the limitations are - before walking through the safety and operation of our sublimation printer and mug press. We’ll then use a template to design, print, and transfer personalized decorations to 11oz mugs that participants take home. See below for some examples we and past attendees made!
After this workshop, attendees should be able to create decorated or personalized mugs using our sublimation equipment. With a different template and design, the same techniques can be extended to other drinkware: larger mugs, tumblers, shot glasses, and more.
Want to explore further with sublimation transfer? Check out our Decorate a T-Shirt with Sublimation workshop, which uses our 16" x 20" heat press to create full-color decorations on shirts!
