Class Axtmann

Definitely hands-on. (Annie)

An idea popped into Joanna Axtmann's head after Screenprint Society:"I want to introduce these six very talented and charming teens to screenprinting". Joanna has been running a summer art camp for the same half dozen students for more than a decade. Working with Screenprint Associate Marty Ittner, the pair planned an ambitious 2-session, 2-color workshop for the teens, who had no previous screenprinting experience. They were well prepared and up for the challenge. In just 7 hours, all 6 students not only printed tee shirts and paper in 2 colors, they also cleaned up the studio and reclaimed all 6 screens! Now that's impressive.

There was little time for socializing.
The six students jumped in, mixing ink, pulling prints and helped each other out. They were also game for the not-so-fun bits like studio clean up and screen reclaiming.
