      To Be Scheduled - CMYK/4-Color Separation Screenprinting
      CMYK, also referred to as “4-color separation,” is a printing process that allows you to replicate color photographs either as they are or with modifications. Email if you are interested and we will try to schedule around you.

      Please Note

      Workshops are filled on a first come, first serve basis. The maximum class size is 5 students. Advance payment is required to hold your place in the class - this is a new policy due to frequent last minute cancellations for classes with waitlists. Payment may be made by credit card through PayPal or with a personal check. There are no refunds for missed classes but if illness or an emergency comes up, you may reschedule for another class. Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting ink on – the inks are permanent when they dry.
