T-Shirt Commission Project

Here in the Fibers Studio, we recently completed a t-shirt printing commission for the September Second-Saturday Open House at the Craft Center. Senior Fiber majors, Beth Bradford and Jessica Hagar, and Fibers Artist-in-Residence, Kelsey Wiskirchen, printed 100 t-shirts in various colors.

From this project, we learned the efficiency possible with a team. While one artist printed, the others prepared the t-shirts and hung the freshly printed shirts up to dry. After the printing process was complete, we all heat-set the ink and boxed the shirts up to complete the commission. The t-shirts were given for free to visitors at the Craft Center on Second Saturday.
