Screenprint with Pritam Arts, Mumbai | Print Lab Session 01 – Matchbox

Step away from the pixel-perfect screen and get your hands dirty with Mumbai’s legendary screen printing studio. With over 40 years of legacy, Pritam Arts has evolved from a commercial press into a collaborative playground where designers and artists push the boundaries of ink, scale, and material. Through their PRINT LAB initiative, they are bringing a fully functional, hands-on print setup straight to you. This is your chance to break free from digital limitations and master the tactile art of slow, manual screen printing. The Screen-to-Object Journey: Learn how a design moves from a concept to a tangible object. You’ll explore screens, inks, squeegees, artworks and layering. The Matchbox Challenge: Transform a flat sheet of paper into your very own custom printed matchbox! Learn the mechanics of printing, creasing, folding, and pasting, and discover the production decisions that go into physical packaging.

A learner’s mindset, curiosity about the mechanics of print, a love for making things by hand, and a water bottle. Leave the laptops at home—everything else is covered.

- All premium inks, materials, and Transasia papers provided. - A complete masterclass on screen setup, ink behavior, and layering techniques. - Take-Home Swag: Your own custom, self-made, screen-printed matchbox and a newfound mastery of print.
