T-shirt and materials workshop

Start: Saturday, March 07, 202010:00 AM

End: Saturday, March 07, 2020 4:00 PM

We are having a workshop to make some XR T-shirts and paint a big banner, and make some more badges, so we will be all set for the Autumn rebellion. Anyone with any expertise or experience with screen printing is urged to get in touch and help us out with this one.

For now:

  • Go through your cupboards and see if you have any T-shirts you no longer need, or would like to print on.
  • Go to your local op shop and buy a handful of T-shirts in a range of sizes suitable for printing. Ideally they will be plain and not too much in the way of pockets, buttons and other obstacles, although we can print on the back if needs be. We will have some different coloured paints for light or dark coloured T-shirts, so any colour will be OK.
  • Let us know if you can lend us any screen printing equipment. We have one frame, but it would be better to have two or three frames and squeegies so we can be more productive. We would like to have one with the XR logo on it, one with the logo and the words 'Extinction Rebellion' and one with 'XR Ballarat' for the back of T-shirts so we can find each other during the Autumn rebellion.
  • On the day it would be a great help if people can bring clothes racks to dry the T-shirts and ironing boards and irons to press them to set the ink once they are dry.

If you can help out with any of that, please contact XRBallarat@protonmail.com
