  • The workshop was interesting and fun. Shari welcomed us warmly and was extremely professional. Her explanations at the beginning were very clear, and she guided us through every step of the process. The atmosphere in the studio was pleasant throughout, and Shari encouraged us to be creative and was open to every idea we had. Highly recommended!
  • It was a fun class. The instructor was knowledgeable and clear in her instruction. I would definitely recommend if you are new to gelli printing.
  • A great team/group activity! Shari and her partner were great at accommodating our group of eight. A very fun, easy, and fairly quick activity that everyone enjoyed.
  • I had a great experience in the screen printing class! Duff is a great instructor who is very knowledgeable and always kind and helpful. The environment he's curated there is very supportive and welcoming to everyone enrolled. I'd recommend Duff's class to anyone wanting to learn screen printing.
  • I had never done screenprinting before and Shari was a great teacher. Very knowledgeable and patient. My friend and I had a great time and would definitely do this class again. We both walked away with 2 fun shirts that we can't wait to wear!
  • Duffy O’Connor conducts this screen printing class with an abundance of patience and is an excellent creative resource. I really enjoy this class and find the other students to be a great deal of fun and always willing to provide assistance.
  • The Instructer was very helpful I am glad I took the class
  • Duffy was very informative, and patient. He was able to answer all my questions and more. Highly recommend this class to any artist trying to learn another way to display there art!
  • Very good course. Amazing instructors.
  • Left and Right Handed Beginner's Calligraphy

    The class was small (three people), so the instructor could demonstrate technique in an up-close-and-personal manner, providing individual attention to each of us. The workspace was well lighted. There was plenty of room at the table. Above all, the instructor was excellent. She is talented both as a calligrapher and as a teacher.
  • Risography 101

    It was really informative and fun!
  • Left and Right Handed Beginner's Calligraphy

    Had fun and learned a lot. Jessica was a good calligraphy teacher
  • DIY Greeting Cards: Screenprinting

    Keira was a great instructor. Smart, articulate and patient. Love the creative setting and small classroom size.
  • Printmaking Foundations

    Really friendly and helpful teacher. You learn relief, etching and screen print. Each medium is 2 classes, one for making the printing image and the other for printing. My own recommendation is that I which open hours would be free when taking a class.
  • Cyanotypes: The Botany of Blue

    Travis was a great instructor, he gave us info on the process as well as some history. We had more than enough time in the 4 hour workshop to experiment and make multiple prints. I would definitely recommend this class!
  • Wearable Prints: Screenprint Your Own

    This is a wonderful class if you've ever wanted to learn about silk screening or just learn something new. Elise was very knowledgeable, friendly and made you comfortable. I was nervous at first but quickly realized I was in good hands. I came out with 5 tote bags with my personalize logo.
  • ​Screenprinting: The Absolute Beginner

    I had never tried screen printing and learning the hand full method was super easy. I feel confident enough to try it at home or take another advanced class now.
  • Letterpress Your Own Cards

    I really enjoyed the class and plan on trying more classes at Spudnik in the future!
  • Screenprinting Refresher

    I thought it was a helpful class. The only thing that would have been nice would be a take away (a print of some sort that we could all make together).
