Decorate a T-shirt with Sublimation

Learn how to create vibrant, durable, full-color decorations on t-shirts 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 t-shirt 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 heat press. We’ll then use a template to design, print, and transfer personalized decorations to t-shirts that participants take home. See below for some examples we made!


After this workshop, attendees should be able to create decorated or personalized t-shirts using our sublimation equipment. With a different template and design, the same techniques can be extended to other garments and flat objects: hoodies, mouse pads, flags, magnets, and more!
