Decorate a T-shirt with Sublimation

In this two-hour workshop, we’ll learn how to use our sublimation equipment to create a customized t-shirt with full-color decoration! We’ll start by discussing sublimation printing and transfer - how it works, what it’s good for, and what the limitations are - before walking through the safety and operation of our sublimation printer and heat press. We’ll then use a template to design, print, and transfer personalized decorations to t-shirts that participants take home. See below for some examples we made!

After this workshop, attendees should be able to create decorated or personalized t-shirts using our sublimation equipment. With a different template and design, the same techniques can be extended to other garments and flat objects: hoodies, mouse pads, flags, magnets, and more!

Want to explore further with sublimation transfer? Check out our Decorate a Mug with Sublimation workshop, which uses our mug and tumbler press to create full-color decorations on drinkware!

Note: T-shirts for this class are ordered as needed based on registration; if you wear an uncommon size, please register for the class at least a week in advance so we can make sure your shirt arrives in time!
