*For this workshop, up to two spots will be offered at concession/reduced pricing of $65 (for students, recent graduates within the last year, or individuals on low-income). In all cases, proof of valid status is required at the time of purchase. Please e-mail us at info@possibleworldsshop.com if you are eligible for this pricing. Spots are available on a first come, first served basis. A waiting list will be created once the spots are filled.

Advance registration is required (no drop-ins). Click on the REGISTER button to reserve and purchase your spot.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY: In this special taster workshop, print your own set of one-colour silkscreened holiday or general greeting cards (up to 20) with your own design. You'll be working in pairs, so consider signing up with a friend.

For all creative levels, no experience needed. You'll be asked to provide your design in advance of the workshop so we can prepare your screen and get you set to print. More information on how to prepare will be sent you prior to the workshop.  

Fee includes all silkscreening materials. Participants provide the paper for printing (smooth, rather than textured paper, is best).

Spaces are limited per workshop (up to 6 participants).

Facilitated by artist-creative director Melanie Yugo of Spins & Needles and Possible Worlds (melanieyugo.com). For over 10 years, Melanie has led classes and workshops on silkscreening and other graphic arts locally at Algonquin College, Ottawa Art Gallery, National Gallery of Canada, University of Ottawa, Cantebury High School, Ashbury College, Glebe Collegiate, as well as for festivals and institutions in the U.S., U.K. and Europe.

*Please note this workshop is focused solely on printing greeting cards. For a thorough introduction to silkscreening, sign up for our Silkscreening 101 Workshop (inroductory) or Silkscreening 201 Workshop (introductory + advanced).

SILKSCREENING STARTER SET: Take your screen with your own image for an additional $25 or a professional grade squeegee for $15. Buy both for $35.
