Polluted Eyeball

I took the basic screen printing workshop and learned so much. Peter is such a great teacher and encourages people to ask quetions. He gave such clear detailed information that I feel confident that I could do the basics at home.

I came here on a Groupon I bought. I must admit it was hard to actually go after I bought it, but the impending expiration date forced my hand.
I’m glad I finally made it though. The instructor was knowledgable and friendly. The other people in the class were friendly too. It is definitely something different and you will definitely leave feeling like you’ve learned something new.

I needed transparencies printed out and two screens burned with my images. I called Peter at Polluted Eyeball, and also called around to several other printshops in Brooklyn and Manhattan to get a quote for this job. Not only did Peter get right back to me and quote me the most fair, affordable price of all the printers I called, but he was also the only printer who wanted more information (what was my image, how big, did I want halftone, how experienced a printer was I, etc) so that he could understand exactly what I needed and make sure he delivered a high quality product that met my needs. I really appreciated this attention to detail. Many other places just quoted me a price without even getting more information about the job — had I gone to them, I’m positive this would have resulted in sub par quality because what I needed done was a bit tricky. Peter completed the job in a very timely fashion, and did an excellent job. The screens look amazing — the images were perfectly burned — and he even included the transparencies with the screens so I can use them again if need be. I was very impressed with his level of service, his price, the turn-​around time, and the results. I will definitely call him again for future projects, and I would highly recommend him to others.

I took my daughter and some friends to celebrate her birthday and it was the best thing we could have done. Just as much fun for my 15 year old and her friends as it was for me and my friends. Peter was AMAZING at explaining everything in a clear easy to follow way. Atmosphere was fun, and we learned a lot. Best part, we all made a whole bunch of really really cool shirts, sweatshirts and tote bags htat we custom designed and printed. I LOVED this experience and so did the other 7 people in my party (ranging in ages from 12 – 41). So highly recommended. The 3 hour class flew by but Peter was really nice about the extra time he allowed us to finish our projects. Great great great! What are you waiting for??? GO!

So happy I took the beginner class here– had a really great time AND made my husband the most kick-​ass tshirts for his birthday! Peter was really great from start to finish: he explained the process of screen printing in detail and was able to answer all the newbie questions I had for him. The class was really fun and engaging and I actually loved how hands on it was. Had a great 3 hours, made some sweet tshirts, and would definitely go back for more!

Had a little bit of working knowledge about the process but wanted get some hands on experience. It turned out to be a great learning experience. Peter was awesome at breaking down each step and making it really easy to understand. Supplied tons of resources along with great suggestions for technique. Have to give additional credit to him since he taught the class while dealing with a terrible allergy attack. I learned a lot and ended up with a few great shirts. Would def. go back for additional courses.

My mom and I took the basic screen printing class yesterday, and had a wonderful time. Peter is a thoughtful and patient instructor who takes the time and effort to explain the art of silk screening in an approachable and enthusiastic way. Even though the other two people who were scheduled to attend the class cancelled at the last minute, Peter used the full time to devote his attention to our projects and ideas. He encouraged a hand’s on involvement mixed with a touch of theory and life lessons that made it a fulfilling experience on a variety of levels. I would love to go back and take another class with him! Bring a bunch of shirts to practice printing on and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty!

Great screenprinting class. I knew nothing about it going in, and now feel like I have a good understanding of the basics. I’d love to take more classes there and even rent the studio to make some art. Highly recommended!

I attended the intro to Screenprinting class with Peter and intend on going back for another session. I had previously taken a screenprinting class and needed a refresher on the basics. There were printed out materials to look through and Peter explained the screenprinting process very thoroughly. Can’t wait to go back to print more!

Peter of Polluted Eyeball is a great instructor! I had the best time taking his basic screenprinting class. It was an intimate class and the class contained the perfect mix of theory, memoir/​his story, and demonstration/​do-​it-​yourself. Also the neighborhood is great. I’d never been before.

I had the chance to take Peter’s beginning class. I have a graphic design background and I understood everything Peter explained. He has a way of breaking everything down in ways anyone who doesn’t have a art background can understand.
His place is very inspiring with his printing samples and design samples. He does have print outs but bring a tablet to write down a lot of notes. My only regret was that I didn’t dress for the occasion. I wanted to get more down and dirty with him. I will look forward to his intermediate class.

Took the Basic Screenprinting class with Peter this weekend with a business partner of mine. My fiancé got me the class thru Groupon so figured it would be a fun thing to do, and it’s BYOB so you can’t get better than that. Peter taught us a lot of stuff in 3 hours and we got to make some cool Ts while we were at it. Wish I could have stayed longer. I’ll be looking into taking another class with some more advanced info to better my business knowledge. I def recommend this class with peter and he’s def doing some cool stuff over there at Polluted Eyeball!
