-===== Silkscreening =====
-VHS has several silkscreens and associated paraphenalia that can be used for community or personal projects.
-If you have art that you would like to silkscreen onto t-shirts, posters, etc. you can bring it by the hackspace and burn it into one of our screens.  Note that screens are a community resource, so 1) screens stay in the hackspace, and 2) a screen that you've lovingly stripped and burnt with your own design may end up being stripped and re-used by someone else, possibly without your knowledge or consent.  For now, we're going to leave this as an unregulated process.  If it descends into chaos and feuding, a silkscreening signup sheet and/or silkscreening moderator may appear.
-At the moment we have:
-silkscreens ~18"x24"
-lightbox for burning screens (sadly too small for these screens - stay tuned, a bigger one will appear someday)
-squeegees
-green silkscreening ink (water based)
-blue silkscreening ink (water based)
-UV reactive silkscreening ink
-screen stripper
-nitrile gloves
-brush for applying stripper
-Any silkscreen-related donations are much appreciated.
-We are all super-duper excited about the possibility of someday getting a laser cutter so we can make mind-blowingly badass stencils.  If you're interested in donating to the future laser cutter fund, talk to us.
-Registered folks can upload silkscreening designs to [[this page]] for future silkscreening extravaganzas.
