About The High School Apprentice Training Program

The High School Apprentice Training Program (HSATP) offers students the opportunity to learn all aspects of hand screenprinting on fabric in FWM’s professional studios. Hand screenprinting is an art form as well as an industrial skill, and the program is designed to provide students with new tools for artistic expression and self-empowerment.

As one of FWM’s original programs, HSATP was created to provide exceptional art education for teenagers from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds, with the specific goal of offering an opportunity unavailable to students in their schools. FWM’s objective is to complement school resources and improve art education for high school-age students in the Philadelphia region.
