If paying with a GIFT CERTIFICATE:

Gift Certificates should be working. Enter your individual code (3 letters, 3 numbers, all together) in the Promo Code section. Then select that ticket option ($0) from the menu. If you have any issues paying with a gift certificate, we recommend paying with a credit card and we will reimburse the payment as soon as possible. This is better than missing a reservation while waiting for an email reply.

Our workshops are small, only 6 people at a time, and they fill very quickly. We send out e-mail notifications every time we list new classes. If you miss us this time, please sign up here or follow us over here.

Each 2-hour workshop will host 10 participants and everyone will walk away with 30 flat-cards. We’ll provide the paper and ink. You bring the creativity.

This workshop costs $40. Payment must be made at time of registration.

Intro to Letterpress:

Our one-day letterpress workshop covers all the basics of letterpress printing.

Attendees will learn how letterpress printing works, how to hand-set wood- and metal-type, print from type and polymer plates, and how to troubleshoot printing and press issues. Students will leave the class understanding how to operate the presses safely and efficiently.

This class will provide you the skills to return and rent time to print your own work during our regular studio hours.

All supplies will be provided. Please dress in comfortable clothes and shoes. We will break for lunch at one of the area restaurants.

The workshop costs $140. Payment must be made at time of registration.

Intro to Screenprinting:

Our one-day screenprinting workshop covers all the basics of screenprinting.

Attendees will learn first hand how properly coat, expose, print from, and clean a silkscreen. Differences in inks, printing substrates, screen mesh, and filmwork will all be discussed, and various multi-color registration techniques will be covered.

This class will provide you the skills to return and rent time to print your own work during our regular studio hours.

All supplies will be provided. Please dress in comfortable clothes and shoes. Be prepared also to get either inky, wet, or both. We will break for lunch at one of the area restaurants.
