Ever wanted to learn how to make your own merchandise?
This free six-week course will give you hands on experience in printing skills with Cardiff based community print workshop, The Printhaus. Throughout the course, you'll be shown examples of how to bring designs to life on merchandise such as t-shirts, caps, keyrings, postcards and pencil cases, and you'll get the chance to visit Printhaus' studios in Canton. By the end of the six weeks, you'll come away with your unique design printed on your very own piece of merch. The final session will also offer opportunities to talk to guest artists about how you can sell and promote your own work, and to reflect on what you've created.
All skill levels are welcome, so whether you're brimful of ideas or just want to give it a go, this course is perfect for those who are interested in how you could develop a side-hustle and market your own brand as an artist.
