The instructor is a 32-year veteran of screenprinting with extensive experience in graphic and textile screenprinting consultation and training in a classroom setting and onsite at customer shops. 

As a member of Mensa, he is a firm believer in Einstein's philosophy "If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, then you don't fully understand it yourself"

So, no worries that subject matter will be too complex or convoluted to understand. Yes, even advanced screenprinting where physics plays a heavy role, can still be made easily understood by using real-world examples relating to food, relationships and even the occasional adult humor to convey principles and variables in an easily digestible and relatable fashion. Laughing while Learning is our goal.

Control the Variables, Control the Print. Each day, we learn to print wet on wet from Vector, high resolution simulated process to 4 color process. Class is from 9 am to 5 pm each day and includes continental breakfast and lunch.

Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as this is an Intensive Hands On Workshop. You will be doing EVERY Facet of Screen Printing onto All these Different Substrates Yourself!

Unedited Quotes about our Classes from Reviews

Over 800+ more Five star reviews available on Google, Facebook & on kolormatrix.com

I’ve been to another class, is it worth it to attend yours?
Just finished the 3 day class and the vast knowledge of Brian was beyond. I have been in the printing business for over 10 years and have been to a couple other classes to learn this industry but this blew all those out of the water. We printed a shirt that I have always wanted to learn the process and it turned out perfect. Vector printing then simulated process and finally 4 color process Brian went above and beyond to make sure we understood the whole process we were printing.. I would highly recommend taking this class of you want to take your business stand out above the rest.            Michael Russell on Google

What if, I’ve been screenprinting for a few years?
"I have owned a professional merchandise and screen printing company for more than seven years. As the owner and principal decision maker of Brynnco, it’s sometimes difficult to constantly perfect your craft and run your business
simultaneously. As difficult as it is, the three days that I’ve spent with Brian at Kolar Matrix have not only reaffirmed that both are possible, but that both are doable.

The Screen Print Training class offers by Kolor Matrix provides so much more than “screen print training.” It is hands on, it is informative, it is constructive, it is educational, but most of all, it is FUN and Brian is FUNNY!

Brian is the master of fundamentals. Our experience here at Kolor Matrix has not only solidified our future in the screen printing industry, but it has awarded us the ability to build a future working relationship with a respected industry brand.

We just opened and need our team trained together?

"We opened an automatic screenprint shop 6 months ago and we are primarily printing vector art. I reached out to Brian at Kolormatrix about doing a 3 day course with our team at our facility to review our processes and offer suggestions on where we could improve and where we could implement new skills.

I can not say enough good things about Brian. He was very professional and added so much value. We had 10 people in the class, some were beginners and some had been printing 10+ years. Everyone walked away with a better knowledge of printing and learned something new.

I am grateful for the knowledge that Brian brought to our shop and would highly recommend it." Jordan & Zach Shumate, Shuma Sports  

So Nice, I did it twice!
Super cool, chill class. The instructor is chill and funny, super helpful and informative to. Didn’t have much knowledge on the whole screen printing class and kinda sad it’s over now. Had fun going through the different processes and seeing the final result. Plus he also brings his dog along super cute and a good girl. 10/10

Editing this review because it honestly is a great place to come learn all about screenprinting. Took the class about a year ago and took it again now enjoyed it as much as the first time around . Definitely worth the money, super kind and helpful people. Andrea Morena
 

Is it worth the trip to Atlanta?
I came all the way from Canada to attend the 3-day screen printing class. It was awesome! I wish I attended this class earlier. Not all screen printing supply houses are as knowledgeable as Kolor Matrix. Most of them never educate their customers. They are just order takers (my local supplier in Winnipeg is like that). Definitely worth it to find a supplier like Kolor Matrix who can educate me and help bring my business to the next level           Shawn Li
 

Still on the fence?
This place is amazing…if you are the fence about taking the class Do It!! The class is amazing and so much information and hands on learning.     Belinda Dudziak
