You're probably wondering..

Where did the screenprinting go? Well, it's not around for the moment, but it's coming back. we're joining a group of screen printing homies at a new lab. And it's still getting set up.

But when it does - and when we get our teaching staff and schedule all worked out - there will be some new screen printing classes offered, namely:

• a six week master screen printing course
• a tee shirt screen printing class

We'll also be keeping around some old standards - Photo and Non-Photo Screen printing. But let's call them "Screen printing on Paper" and "Screen printing at home."

I can see you raising your hand over there. you want to know when right? Well, I can tell you that it will be going on by June - hopefully earlier.

And by the way - thank you, thank you, thank you to Lobot Gallery for being so kick ass and letting us host a weekly night at their Screen Printing Lab for the past TWO YEARS!!!
