I needed a frame burned for screen printing for a rally - Jon at the Grease Diner was incredible! Burning the frame was super affordable, they also were able to sell me some printing ink, and gave me a bunch of high quality paper for no cost! During printing I was having some trouble and they were available on the phone for support. Thank you Jon! read more

As a treat for my birthday, my daughter and I had a great afternoon of learning about screen printing and creating awesome shirts and sweatshirts. Jon Jon was enthusiastic about our designs, allowed us to participate in all parts of the process and really gave us free reign from start to finish. We will definitely come back with friends/family to do this again and wouldn't hesitate to have Jon Jon create the designs for us if we don't have the time to do it ourselves. Spectacular day! Thanks! read more

Super helpful service and great local screen printing. People here are really nice and everything I've had them print, from acetates to screens to shirts has turned out super clean. They offer classes and you can rent their tables if you wanna pull the screens yourself. Support local businesses! Always playing great music too read more

We took the intro tshirt screen print class and it was awesome! Laurie started the class with a quick run down on how our images would be transferred over to the screens and then Jon Jon taught us how to print our images onto our articles of clothing. The step by step process was so informative and thorough. In addition to the class, the store itself was great...with unique art of all types by Bay Area artists on sale. Laurie and Jon Jon are awesome, they make you feel like home and are so patient and kind. We will definitely be back to learn how to print in multiple colors. read more

The Grease Diner is a special space, with a multitude of arts and crafts going on. I recently took the T-shirt making class and Laurie and Jon Jon patiently guided me through the whole process. I was able to successfully make a bunch of shirts and learned the printing process for next time. The store was buzzing with activity and friendly conversations. The owners seem to really know what they are doing and have created a sweet community. read more

Great place to learn about screen printing and to get your creative juices flowing. Great instruction, low-key vibe and artful, well communicated assistance. I had fun. read more

Amazing opportunity to learn about screen printing, make your own items such as T-shirts, tote bags - emblazoned with your own art. Owner is extremely patient, kind and encouraging. My daughter and her friend have printed over 100 T-shirts here to promote their band. What a fantastic DIY experience for them to create their own artwork, have it transferred to screens that they now own, and then they return as needed to keep printing new T-shirts. If you have ever wondered about silk screening or wanted to create your own wearable art, don't hesitate - contact Grease Diner for a class. Very professional and comprehensive, with a well-functioning workshop and super-fun atmosphere. read more

The Grease Diner is one of a kind. Jon Jon and Laurie have created a beautiful shop for people interested in creating, and fulfilling their visions for screen printing. They are helpful at each step in the process. I took a 2 hour class on two color screen printing and I brought my press in to ask for pointers. I can't tell you how much I learned and how grateful we are to have them apart of our east bay artist community. Please support this place. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. I had a small custom order of prints on sweatshirts and they worked with me to make the project amazing, even though it wasn't a huge job! I was so impressed w their communication, their work, and the finished product. They were fast and efficient and patient through the process. I will definitely work with this shop again for custom printing projects! read more

I had an fantastic experience with Jon Jon and the whole Grease Diner team. We hired them to print a small batch of custom shirts which came out awesome. Later, my whole 20+ person team from work did a screenprinting offsite at their location with custom designs. It was super fun. Highly recommended for both printing and group experience! read more

Grease diner is simply put, all of my favorite things about the art community of the East Bay in one place. Jon Jon is an exceptional teacher who focuses on technique and truly makes screen printing accessible for anyone at any skill level. The attention he gave me and my peer in the Saturday tee shirt printing class was encouraging and enthusiastic. We had fun, I got to make a small run of shirts from an original design, and now I can't wait to go back to keep printing. Music was great, the space is dope, the shop in the front has all of the coolest art--all the right vibes. All that and it's completely reasonably priced! I am truly proud to support this biz. read more

Laurie and Jon Jon are awesome! Very friendly and knowledgable. I go here to silk screen normally for there open studio Tues / Thur evenings (5-10pm). I already knew how to silk screen but they helped me set up the screens and print. Ive made many shirts here and thanks to the grease diner they came out great! They also sell beautiful local handmade artwork in front. Definitely go check it out. Buy some artwork, do some printing and meet some friendly folks. read more

Fantastic place, the owner Jon Jon was super knowledgeable and helpful, i just needed some large transparencies printed and he did it quickly and also helped me make sure the size was correct for my project. 10/10 would go again read more

Best shop ever, so full of creativity and possability. After checking out the cool products venture past the merchandise room and step into the printing area. A fully functional print studio where u can have stuff made or make something yourself! read more

jOnjOn provided an OUTSTANDING one-on-one class for me today! In just two hours I learned everything I needed to go back and rent shop time and purchase materials to make my own t-shirts for my small business. He was very attuned to the information I provided about why I was there and incorporated that into my session. I went there with appropriate expectations about what to expect based on the course description, and had my expectations exceeded. THANK YOU! read more

My only experience with screen printing was in 2004 when my friends and I collaborated on a clothing line and sold our screen printed t-shirts at an outdoor fair in Oakland, California. Since then, I've had an inkling to screen print again. With a quick search on the internet, I found The Grease Diner -- they offer Saturday classes either with a group or one-on-one. The Saturday class worked out perfectly for my schedule and I chose to do the group class because of the price. Luckily, the Saturday I was scheduled for was a day where I was the only person taking the class! I was able to work closely with the owner, jOn jOn, and he was a great instructor. I went into class with curiosity in toe and jOn jOn happily answered all of my questions, he even went into great detail about the screen printing process. The studio space was spacious and they were well equipped with everything that you may need. I wanted to make my own tote bags so I cut out my fabric pieces and brought 12 of them in to class. He had muslin rolled up against the wall and he gave me 12 extra pieces. All in all, I left with 24 screen printed pieces of fabric! I can make more tote bags than anticipated! I would recommend The Grease Diner to anyone that is looking for a friendly, hands-on experience that will leave you feeling like you connected with your community. read more

Laurie & Jon Jon are amazing - very patient, articulate, talented AND FUN!!! I took a screen printing here with my wife and had a great time. L&J were very generous with their time & materials. Highly recommended for anyone interested in exploring your interest in screen printing. read more

Great service and just good energy. Jon Jon came through again for what I needed. I'll definitely be going back.

Took a class back in March of this year, 1st time doing anything with screen printing and it was a good experience. Jon Jon is a great instructor and very informative, also knowledgeable about the whole process. Definitely trying to get back for more work, and customer service is second to none. read more

I took the class today and was thrilled by not only the results but also by the excellent instruction and wonderful space they have. Laurie and Jon Jon did a great job of walking me through the screen print process and answering questions. I've been looking around for a class to take and this was worth it for sure. read more

I took a screen printing class last week with Laurie & Jon Jon. They were hella cool and knew their craft. The Grease Diner is a place of creative inspiration. I look forward to doing more screen printing with them in the future. read more

I love to make things, and I always wanted to learn how to screenprint. A friend pointed me to the Grease Diner for their classes, and I can say taking their intro to Screenprinting class was up there with the best decisions I ever made. Laurie and Jon Jon were welcoming, sweet and knowledgeable. They were very generous with their time and supplies, and once I got the hang of the equipment, basically left me to myself to print, print, print to my heart's content! I'm so excited that I know the Grease Diner exists now, as I'll be back to get inspired and make things on the regular! read more

Amazing studio with true artists acting as guides and mentors for us screen printing newbies. One of the only spots in the area that lets you utilize DIY equipment time which is AWESOME if you are not ready to commit to buying your own printing boards, clamps, heat presses, etc... read more

I'm torn between writing the review they deserve and writing a bad review so I can keep them to myself! This place is a great find for anyone who has an idea they want to try silkscreening! Laurie and Jon are incredibly helpful and easy to hang around with. I hadn't done any printing for years, but Laurie walked me through all the steps (several times!) and I have since been back a few times. And the cost of supplies is extremely reasonable! read more

My son and I did a t shirt printing class. I can't speak more highly about our experience. Laurie and Jon Jon are such great teachers. Not only do they know their stuff in the screen printing arena, they are really kind and excellent teachers! They treated my son with so much respect, it's clear they have a great skill set with both kids and adults. We will be back, their prices are awesome, equipment top notch and a studio full of really great people. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks guys!!! read more

"jOnjOn" is unreasonably slow, unresponsive and when I expressed, politely, frustration because it took 5 wks for him to even send us an estimate for a very basic order, he hung up on me without response. Because he couldn't call back when he emailed us he would call that day, never responding to email promptly, he caused us to miss our deadlines and cost us significantly financially. He has overcharged us by a huge margin, then was quite rude when we asked for the breakdown. He gave us quotes on items we did not request, trying to price gouge us and due to his unresponsive business practice, has forced us to pay for rush printing from another printer. We wanted to go with someone local and radical, and that was a massive mistake. I STRONGLY suggest not going to Grease Diner, and choosing another pinter who will actually respond, not try to rip you off, and who responds to requests of what is going on with polite business practices and solutions. read more
