The Warhol Museum instructors show how. First we need sweatshirts and t-shirts.

With a shirt in place under the screen and the stencil on top of the screen, we're ready to apply the ink. Let's watch to see how it is done.

Little hands and big hands working together make spreading the ink much easier.

And look what we've made!

Silk screening on paper is also fun. We can use a stencil we used for our shirts

or we can create our own patterns. A snowflake perhaps —

or the first letter of our name. And when we're done we have both the screened image and the now multicolored pattern itself!

And for those of us whose artistic interests are architectural rather than pictorial, there are always Legos to inspire creativity.

Because this is the place where we grow and bloom

Silk-screening workshops, offered in the homeless housing agencies' Learning Centers, are opportunities HCEF's Customized Accelerated Programs for Education - CAPE, makes possible through the donations of our Pennsylvania EITC program participants.
