Bio: “With an MFA in printmaking and a long-running love affair with screen-printing, I’ve inked my way through just about every printmaking technique out there. I originally got my master’s to teach at universities, but now I’m stoked to share all my printmaking obsessions with you through our screen-printing classes and whatever other inky (& vinyl) adventures come our way!”
A certification class is required before accessing screen printing equipment and the Graphtec independently in this shop.
Minors ages 12-15 must have a legal guardian present with them in the shop at all times (it is recommended that the legal guardian also become certified in the shop).
Minors ages 16-17 need to have a legal guardian on site at TinkerMill but do not need to be directly supervising.
