Introducing...MESH SESH'!

a monthly screen-printing show-and-tell held the last Sunday of every Month -
launching this Sunday, March 27, 2011 from 4-6pm

Mesh Sesh' is a chance for screen-printers to get together and share knowledge. Each month a few presenters will share new techniques, tricks, software, tools/gadgets and the like. Presenters can also pose a question to the group if they are having a particular challenge they need help with. It's also a chance to network with other screen printers and 'talk shop'. To launch the first discussion , PPW resident artists Kristina Bilonick and Anthony Dihle will explore some non-computer based methods of creating screen imagery such as painting with screen filler and making photo-grams using every-day objects.

Novices welcome. Space is limited, so if you're interested in presenting or to just attend, email: pleasantplainsworkshop@gmail.com(there is no fee to attend or present).

Saturdays at the Plains

Most days of the week, Anthony and I are tinkering away in the studio- working on new projects, doing custom jobs, and experimenting with new materials.. On Saturdays, we open our doors to the public so you can see what we've been up to and so you can scope out our wares! Posters, tee shirts, original artworks, vintage clothing, and more..

Also on Saturdays we sometimes have guest artists perform, host trunk shows or have drawing sessions.. each week is different. Stay tuned for our upcoming event calendar. To receive emails about our events, sign up by emailing: pleasantplainsworkshop@gmail.com
