By-Hand How-To Workshop: Screen Printing with Sara Jean Odam
Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
March 18-21, 2025
12–4 p.m. daily
Free
Learn to decorate your own t-shirt or tote bag with Sara Jean Odam. In these free workshops she will show you how to develop your ideas into wearable forms of art through the fun and versatile process of screen printing. There will be pre-created images to play with, or you can invent your own.
The workshop is suitable for all ages. This is a great family activity for spring break!
The screen printing workshop will be open daily from Tuesday, March 18–Friday, March 21, 2025. Each session runs from 12–4 p.m. but you can arrive and leave at any time. Materials—including bags and shirts in various sizes—will be provided by the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art for as long as supplies last. Participants can also bring their own shirts and bags for printing. No previous experience with printmaking is required.
This workshop is part of the Marjorie Barrick Museum’s By-Hand How-To, a series of creative and restful events that will manifest almost every month until June 2025. The project is supported, in part, by the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the state of Nevada.
All of the museum’s galleries are accessible to wheelchair users and other visitors who cannot use stairs. Services such as sign language interpretation can be arranged. Please contact the museum to discuss your needs: barrick.museum@unlv.edu, 702-895-3381.
About the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
