Design Your Own T-Shirt Workshop - 2011
Jonathan Hamilton (an artist, Minneapolis Institute of Art employee and amateur t-shirt designer), showed teens how to design fashionable t-shirts a la threadless.com. Teens were introduced to designs, learned how to design a t-shirt graphic incorporating artwork and fonts on the computer, then they used iron-on transfers to add their design on a t-shirt. This will be our second year working with Jonathan and this year’s theme is Design Your Own Organic T-shirt. This was a requested repeat program from our Teen Advisory Group.
- Event Date: 3/10/11
- Location: Watonwan County Library
- Attendance: 24
- Partner Organization(s): Jonathan Hamilton, YALSA (this will be held during Teen Tech Week 2011)
- Partner Organization(s) Contribution/Role in the Program: Jonathan Hamilton – expertise; YALSA – promote program
Program Outputs: 1 program, 24 people, requested repeat of program. The Teens vary in patience levels when it comes to the ironing process so some were not adequately heated. We fixed several snafus from last year, but to do this again with this level of interest, would require a second printer so that more designs could be printed out at the same time….which was the biggest issue this time around.
