Screen printing workshop in Lisbon at Dentu Zona, a community-rooted screen printing studio in Cova da Moura where you learn manual screen printing on t-shirts, tote bags, posters, flyers and stickers using sustainable water-based inks free from PVC, phthalates and heavy metals. Led by Vítor Sanches, entrepreneur, activist and the driving force behind an economy built on community support, this is a workshop where the craft and the values behind it are equally part of what you take home.
The session covers the full manual screen printing process hands-on, walking you through everything from setting up your screen to pulling ink across fabric and paper with confidence. Dentu Zona uses only sustainable inks with pigments of mineral and vegetal origin, making every print as clean as it is colourful. The atmosphere in the studio is super friendly and welcoming by design, reflecting the broader Dentu Zona mission of making screen printing accessible, supporting emerging artists and giving a platform to positive initiatives at every scale.

What you leave with

I am Vítor Sanches, founder of Dentu Zona in Cova da Moura. Alongside the screen printing studio I run a sustainable clothing brand called Bazofo, give a voice to local artists, organise markets and work every day toward a better future for my neighbourhood. One of the reasons I opened the studio was to offer accessible and small-scale screen printing services to positive initiatives and emerging brands and artists. The workshop is an extension of that same mission: making this craft genuinely available to everyone who is curious about it.
No prior experience with screen printing needed. All materials included. Open to kids, youth and adults.

Hands On
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Screen Printing Experience!
We had the most incredible time at Vitor’s Screen Printing Workshop! The Hands On team not only learned the process of making custom t-shirts from start to finish but also got to hear about Vitor’s inspiring journey and his dedication to supporting the local community. 🙌
The workshop was well-organized, fun, and interactive. From creating the design to printing, we were guided every step of the way, and the final results were amazing! The atmosphere was super welcoming, and Vitor’s passion made the experience even better.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn a new craft, team-building, or even making your own custom merch! 👕🎨 We’re already planning to come back for more!
