"The Last Piece" A Free Screen Printing Class In Boston, Saturday Nov. 22nd

SelfMade Designs Studio –  12 Shaw Street, Quincy, MA 

Saturday, November 22, 2025, 10AM-5PM

The “Last Piece” function on the press doesn’t mean the work is done…just that the job is complete. This class marks the final session at the original SelfMade studio before Zach Achorn aka The Can of Corn transitions to a new chapter in Rhode Island and relocates his base to Portland, Oregon. But the mission continues.

“Last Piece” is a full-day, hands-on screen printing workshop that walks attendees through the entire process - from DIY beginnings to pro-level automation. This class isn’t just about how to coat a screen or pull a squeegee. It’s about growth, evolution, and trusting the process. Whether you’re just getting started or already deep in the game, this experience is designed to give you the tools, insights, and mindset to level up.

To celebrate the moment, we’ll also be joined by special guests from the screen printing industry - leaders, innovators, and creatives who’ve shaped the craft and the culture.
