Hands-on Printing Experience
Create Your Own Unique Print
Participants then set their own type (with ongoing instruction) and set the forms up to be printed. Get a little inky! We supply the aprons.
Choose Your Printed Items
Everyone can print their posters, coasters, or stationery. People often have several projects. You can print as many items as you have time for.
Workshop Clean Up
The key to a successful print experience is keeping things organized – put things back where you got them, please.
