About
Established in 2012, Stitching up Detroit started as a youth-run screen-print and design collective based out of Grace in Action Collectives in Southwest Detroit. In 2018, we incorporated as a worker-owned cooperative with 5 founding members. We specialize in graphic design, textile screen-printing, poster printing, and vinyl. We offer high quality t-shirts, sweatshirts, canvas bags, decals, posters, and more.
We also offer a screen print training as an after school program along with summer trainings! In the trainings we show students/kids under the age of 12 the process of screen print from the ground up.
