Ocelot Print Shop-Detroit, MI

Ocelot Print Shop in Detroit is a one stop shop for all of your silkscreen needs! Ocelot opened up in June of 2013 and has been building a steady list of clients and members ever since. Ocelot offers rental time by the hour and will also shoot and reclaim your screens for you. They also do a large amount of contract and commercial work printing t-shirt orders for companies all over. When I was there I met with one of the printers, Melissa Dettloff, and she gave me a tour of the studio. The first room that i walked into with the tables and smaller t-shirt press is for members, while the second room through the hallway to the right is for all of their commercial print work. The hallway in between serves as a storage area for member screens and supplies. The most recent silkscreen job they were working on right before I got there was a set of Signal-Return shirts. Signal-Return is the letterpress shop right down the street. Another great aspect of the studio is that they also teach classes and run workshops for the Detroit community. Their intro to silkscreen class that is offered once a month is wildly popular and has been filling up months in advance. Ocelot is spreading the silkscreen knowledge in Detroit and encouraging others to get involved!
