Interested in Screen Printing but would like additional support, connecting with other artists, or to access the equipment compound has to offer? Join us at Screen Print Open Hours! This open print session allows for Compound and Non Compound members to access all of the Screen Printing resources we have to offer! Don't have screen printing facilities at your disposal? Use our space to work on your projects. Our print host will focus on troubleshooting and getting people to be able to properly burn their screens as well as offer support regarding larger projects, ideas, or more advance techniques if we have time and space. Current members who have access to the screen printing equipment but are interested in additional support, troubleshooting, or questions about their personal projects can benefit.
