How does it work?
I show up at your event with all of my equipment and enough T-shirts and sizes for everyone. All that needs to be provided for me is a small table to attach my easel to. I also need to be near an electrical outlet and there should be enough space for me to stand and a small line of people waiting for their shirts.
Do you only paint shirts for kids?
Unless otherwise specified, I only plan on enough shirts for the kids at the event. However if you want to include everyone, that is always a lot of fun too! I do it all the time.
How many shirts can you do?
The most shirts I can paint in one evening is 100.
What do you paint on the shirts?
I paint whatever each person asks for on their shirt. I've painted everything from a simple name to a "Banana-Man riding a dragon" (kids come up with interesting ideas!). However, in order to make it fair for everyone in the amount of time available, I paint on only one side of the shirt in one color (out of about 6 choices) per shirt. I work very quickly and I can usually keep the line short and moving along.
Is the paint messy?
I use a water based non-toxic fabric paint. There is no over spray and little chance for a mess. If a spill were to occur it's very easy to clean up.
Will the paint ruin our clothes?
The paint dries almost instantly and can therefore be worn immediately.
How long will the shirt last?
The paint will withstand many repeated washings. When you get home, stick it in the dryer for 5-10 minutes to heat set it and it will last even longer. I've seen shirts last for over 5 years!
