My Project

Whether it's hand-crafted or digital art, students love to see their work displayed. What's better than teaching them how to take their art one step further and turning it into a wearable or usable product?

Kids are artistic in so many ways.

We want to show kids that the beautiful art they create can be displayed in a whole new way. By using a sublimation printer and sublimation blanks like hats, bags, car coasters, etc. they can display their hard work for all to see. They can create gifts for loved ones and friends in a way that is meaningful and shows that they care.
