Take Back the T-Shirt: Creating and printing your own t-shirt design
Bring the whole family to the museum to enjoy a t-shirt design and printing workshop led by The Laundromat Project's Teaching Artist Maya Valladares. Using stencils and stencil spray, this workshop teaches participants how to create a t-shirt design that reflects themselves and their neighborhoods. Participants choose images and colors that broadcast a unique individual message, which effectively allows them to "take back the t-shirt!" This is an eco-friendly activity -- please bring a gently used t-shirt to design.
