About Us

What are we?

Hidden Hand is the new identity of The Black Arts Studio.

What was The Black Arts Studio?

The Black Arts Studio was a screen printing shop begun in 2012 by Aaron Jenkins. Aaron is still the owner/operator of Hidden Hand; same person, same shop, new name. Aaron has over twenty years of experience in screen printing between working at other shops, managing other shops, and operating The Black Arts Studio/Hidden Hand as his full time endeavor since 2014.

At the very end of 2024 we relocated and decided it was time for a name and brand refresh to go along with the change of location. The name The Black Arts Studio was also a bit of a mouthful, and a bit confusing at times.

When I started the business I imagined I would be offering a full suite of design and print services, a full “studio” experience. But I ended up laser focused on producing high end water based screen printed apparel for a wide range of very cool clients, with little time for the full “studio” thing.

In short, I’ve been the hidden hand behind the scenes, helping people make the things they want to make.

Why the change?

To work hard for awesome people to create the best screen printed goods possible, while always striving to improve and innovate.

Our Mission Remains The Same...
