Learn how to screen print with Derisory Designs, and also meet King Lou
Aug28
We have a guest staying with us this week.
Turns out this guy flew ALL the way from the Bronx to Philadelphia just to check out the space we share with Fireball Printing and all the sweet work we all do. His tag informed us that he’s a part of the American Pigeon Racing Association and is from the Bronx. Paul and Katherine donned him “King Lou.”
We’ve been tweeting about it a little while (if you don’t follow us, hook it up) but we’ll be offering a screen printing class right in our workspace starting September 14th. It’s being offered in two parts, each runs for four weeks on Mondays from 6:30PM-9:00PM and costs $90. It’s pretty good deal, considering you’d be shelling out a considerable amount more take a class through a college, and you’ll be learning from the people who do it every day for a living. You know, the pros.
The classes are in conjunction with our friends at Pterodactyl Philadelphia (a creative art space) who will be offering a host of other classes starting in September. Here’s a quick overview of the course list
- SEWING FROM A PATTERN
- INTRODUCTION TO SCREEN PRINTING
- SEQUENCE/STRUCTURE/JUXTAPOSITION
- EMBROIDERY & BEADING
- MAKING COMICS FROM IDEA TO PRINT
- BACK TO BASICS: SIMPLE SEWING FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
- MOLD MAKING
- CONTEMPORARY CONCEPTIONS OF BONES AS MATERIAL
- ADVANCED SURFACE DECORATING TECHNIQUES
- INTRODUCTION TO ANIMAL SCULPTURE
If you’d like to read the full course desription and find out the cost, as well as who is teaching, check out the full class list.
That’s all for today! Stay tuned for a post next week about the screen printing convention Jeremy & Jes are attending in Baltimore this weekend.

We’ve had the chance to work with a lot of amazing clients in the past few years and can’t wait to see what’s next. We’re going to try to update this blog at least once a week (we need to take a break from printing every now and then) and hopefully we will have some exciting stories for you all to enjoy. We have a lot planned for this upcoming year, including a celebration of our five year anniversary. So check back often for updates!
