Silkscreening

I want to get into this, mainly for a hobby.

How does one get started? I have the latest version of Photoshop. I have some good ideas but having them professionally done is insanely expensive.

you can buy kits to make your own screens, or have a screen printing place make your screens for you. once you have screens, its as simple as swiping paint accross them and making the shirts. i made shirts in high school for my marketing project, made shirts and sold them to everyone at the school (sports teams/band/fucking PTA) its really easy, but i suggest having your screens made professionally at first.

btw, different screen for each color, kinda obvious but yeah.

Thanks! How much do the screens cost?

I called collegiate USA (who make a lot of the Blazer apparel) and they charge an arm and a leg for each color.
