The shop will be closed from Thanksgiving Day through Sunday SIKE! It’ll be open on Saturday and Sunday from 8-11.
 

If I had to guess, I’d say that the guards will be kicking you out of the shop at midnight on Wednesday Night. Please plan accordingly.

Eat well, catch up on sleep, and have a relaxing break.

I know you all thought I was ignoring the problem (I wasn’t), or pretending it was someone else’s issue (it was!), but today the gold safety sleeves came in for the darkroom bulbs.

What does this mean? It means you can now coat your screens and actually see what you’re doing.  

These are UV-free bulbs, so they won’t affect your unexposed silkscreens. They seem incredibly bright, and they are, but I promise you your screen is safe… (until maybe a week of constant exposure, but that’s your own stupid fault).  So feel free to leave them on while you’re waiting for emulsion to dry.  (Please also feel free though to turn them off and save electricity!).

Enjoy your new darkroom, and remember to put that emulsion back in the locker!

Monday: 7-9pm
Tuesday: 6-9pm
Wednesday: 2-4pm
Friday: 11am-2pm

John Bylander will be running the printer hours on Monday and Tuesday. If you have not yet met John stop by and say hello. Kyle will be running the Wednesday and Friday hours.

When you arrive to print you must have all of your files batched and ready to print. The maximum width of your film is 23.5″.

The large format printer is reserved exclusively for students in and making work for a current printmaking class. You must arrive 20 minuets before the end of printing hours.

The paper studio has a recent addition of a brand-new Reina Beater. This is very exciting as we will now be able to make our own pulp for a variety of paper production and we will be able to make specialty pulps for everything from watermarks to casting.
