First Layer Print Shop

The Screen Print Shop is located inside the Ryan Arts & Sharon Hill Public Library. We offer custom-printed goods, focus on renewal brand apparel, and more.

First Layer is a streetwear screen-print shop run by Quaishawn Whitlock. This printshop is a teaching print shop that includes classes, workshops, and a large part of our after-school program. 1 Layer prints onsite for community events prints custom t-shirts for businesses and individuals, and serves as a community resource for image production.

Streetwear has its branding and also incubates young entrepreneurs from the community to start their brands.

This provides them with the opportunity to create a brand that fits their vision for what they want their business to be in the future.

We are a teaching shop. We educate the masses on printing techniques to create their own custom t-shirts. If you don’t want to get messy, don’t worry. We can print custom shirts for you. This gives many young entrepreneurs with the opportunity to create and build a brand that is solely unique to them.

Our mission is to educate you on ways to transform your idea or concept into a printed image. The great thing about screenprinting is it doesn’t require the ability to draw. You can take images from the internet and enhance them, use your own photography, or learn some simple design techniques from us.
