Community Screenprinting

Amesbury, MA | 2024-present

Brief: Develop a program of hands-on screenprinting activities for the public through my studio, Harsh Realm. I have organized several such events as fundraisers for local nonprofits and as part of our annual Open Studios event.

My roles:

  • Graphic Design

  • Printing and / or printing assistance

  • Promotion

Project overview.

Screenprinting is a magical experience that transforms blank paper or fabric into something entirely new with one pull of a squeegee. I have built a program of hands-on printing events for my community that welcomes people of all ages to get some ink on their hands and pull a print. These events are often fundraisers - we have raised money for a local youth theater camp, an organization that helps trans youth travel for medical services, and the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of Massachusetts.
