PM Screen Blitz: with Tony Bartholomew
Want to make that T-shirt or quickie poster project? Per the request of Zygote users, we are trying something new for people who want to come in at night and create a screen print. Simply email or phone in a commitment to Tony by Monday at 4pm the week you wish to work. This will reserve a ready-to-expose silkscreen that will be waiting for your arrival on Wednesday night. Walk in and expose immediately! The cost of the Wednesday night Screen Blitz* includes the use of our water-based inks (you will have to supply ink for fabric) and screens for the open studio time from 7-10pm.
*The screen primers are highly recommended for participation in this on-going offering. This is not an instructional class but a convenient and independent Open Studio "screen only" session for Wednesday nights.

Fundamentals of Letterpress: with Wendy Partridge
Letterpress printing is ideal for adding text to prints, making broadsides, greeting cards, and posters, and of course, creating artists' books. Furthermore, Zygote's Vandercook presses can print linoleum and woodblock cuts that are "type high," and it is comparatively easy to print large runs with the Vandercooks. This workshop will go over the basics of setting type by hand and the mechanics of printing on the Vandercook. Bring some short texts to the first class. Due to space restrictions this class is limited to six people.
| Day & Time: | 5 Tuesdays, 6-9pm |
| Dates: | 04/27/10 - 05/25/10 |
| Class Limit: | 6 |
| Notes: | Bring some short texts to the first class |

Monoprinting Private parties
Print parties have been arranged where we charge each person $20 which includes tutorial, inks, plates etc. They have purchased the printmaking paper ahead of time. These usually last about 2 hours.
Children's parties are usually a flat fee because we need at least two people there to run the presses and insure safety. For 12 children and their parents we estimate about $250
This includes the paper, ink, plates and instruction. These are two hour sessions. Each printer gets $25 per hour.
**additional material fees are sometimes charged for specific classes
