Are there any screen printing/silk screening classes in the Bay Area, CA?
I taught myself how to screen print onto t-shirts, but it takes SO LONG to do it homemade like this. I would like to further my knowledge to fully pursue this hobby, but I don't know if there are any workshops or classes on this particular subject in my area. I live in between San Francisco and San Jose. Does anyone know of any places that have classes and resources regarding screen printing and silk screening?

Well, I checked the Parks and Recreation website for MY town (San Carlos, California) http://www.ci.san-carlos.ca.us/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=4462 and didn’t find any classes on silk-screening. You might want to check YOUR city’s Park and Rec website.
Silk Screening BASICS isn’t that hard… I remember doing it in high-school art classes back in 1980.

I checked the 2008-2009 catalog for Canada College and found nothing: http://www.canadacollege.net/catalog/0809/0809-pps98-114.pdf
I also checked the 2008-2009 catalog for College of San Mateo and found nothing: http://collegeofsanmateo.edu/schedule/docs/CSM_08_09_Catalog.pdf
I hope you can find something !! GOOD LUCK !!
I’m sorry, and I admit up front that I can’t actually answer your question, but you do live in the Bay Area! There’s hardly a more "artsy" region in the whole country.
Some places you might try contacting/researching:
San Francisco Art Institute
Art Institute of California — San Francisco
California College of the Arts (in Oakland)
If for some reason you can’t find what you’re looking for at one of these places, you might try contacting someone in one of their printing departments to see if they know of any places.
