Screen Printing
If you've ever dreamed of owning you're own apparel line, join this unique screen printing course in Brooklyn. In this six-week all-encompassing course your instructor will walk you through the design, production and documentation process of branding your own apparel line. 
Our goal is to help you design and print around industry standards and on-press specifications so you know what rules to break and when to stay within the lines. By the time the course concludes, you will have the tools to produce screen printed apparel while maximizing your goals and keeping costs down.
This course is broken into three sections:
  • Design Phase
  • Production Phase
  • Documentation Phase
First is the Design Phase where you create a style guide that will be used as inspiration as you start sketching out three looks in Procreate for iPad. Get a comprehensive understanding of how size, placement and various screen printing ink types can impact your design choices while pushing the boundaries of possibilities. By the end of this phase, you will choose one of your three looks to finalize in Procreate and put into Production.
This classifies our second section of the course, the Production Phase where we will discuss blank apparel brands and which ones have the qualities and prices that meet your goals. Then on to fully executing your chosen look. Here you will learn screen printing 101 and how to use our materials and equipment to print your chosen design onto your blanks.
Lastly is the Documentation Phase, where you will be taught how to take professional photos of your final product. Learn how lighting, angles and contrasting backgrounds can really make your product pop! Once we have some photos to work with, our photography instructor will teach you how to edit your best shots using Adobe Lightroom for iPad.
We know not everyone can afford a team of brand designers, printers, and photographers to assist in accomplishing their campaign, so that’s why we developed this course to teach you the things we wished designers knew before they invested in large, costly orders aimed to launch their brands.
Images feature brand founder, designer and printer Alyssa Innamorato of api the label.

Carousel's is a Screen Printing Production Studio based in Brooklyn New York, founded by India Armstrong in 2021. Carousel’s is a proud female owned independent business with a boutique team that keeps the studio up and running. The bread and butter of our business relies on three key factors; during the day time we produce “contract printing” on a variety of products, during the evening we teach an array of workshops for screen printers and lastly we have open studio access for members to print there heart out.
