Turn your image into a screen and print an edition of posters, greeting cards or even t-shirts! With the completion of this beginner course, students will be prepared to take more specialized, intermediate courses. Students may also choose to take this beginner course again with a personalized emphasis on multilayer printing. Our classroom environment is welcoming to all skill levels and we strive to make our shop accessible to new and experienced printers alike. A materials fee covers paper, ink, use of a screen, and other consumables. Please note: Masking is now encouraged, but optional in the studio space.

Their work includes making comics, prints, illustrations, screen printed shirts, and ceramics about the connections we have to nature and our journey to self-actualization. Nicole’s work can provide visual insights on how people could inhabit the world in their physical, mental, and imaginary states while navigating destructive systems. Often describing existential dread and despair within their work, Nicole will sometimes pair that thought with a hopeful avenue of possibilities.Cost$40 for Current Members/$45 for Non-MembersPlus a $15 materials fee that covers ink, paper, screen, emulsion, and use of our equipment.
