CUR!OUS
Almost everyone has heard of screen printing, but few understand how many steps it takes to get to the fun part – pulling the squeegee for the final prints! I’ve been teaching workshops since 2008 and have a few options to create your own experience. From making a project, to learning the whole process, to lending a helping hand. Workshops are scheduled on-demand with a 2-person minimum. Please call (303) 321-7101 or email with any questions or inquire about scheduling.
