    This was a great starter course. Super laid back, but so informative. We had a great time and Eric was an awesome instructor.

    I really enjoyed my time in this class! Erik was very patient and prepared for just about any question we threw at him. We made a solid use of the time allotted; I almost wish I brought along more materials to practice on. I highly recommend this class.

    Amazing !! Erik was super friendly and helpful - you will learn all the fundamentals you need to create silkscreen prints at home, and you’ll walk away with a stencil you can use over and over again!

    Eric was a really great instructor. Really enjoyed the workshop. Eric was extremely knowledgeable, but also laid back and very friendly- a nice combination for a teacher. I think the class should be no more than 6 people or there should be a larger area to work in. Wish there were a workshop to work on a little larger format as an intermediate step.

    Eric did a fantastic job teaching the class. He was friendly, thorough, and hands-on. Everyone's project came out well as a result. We also had a small class which helped. I would definitely take another version of this that went past the basics.

    Great class! Very relaxed and easy going, yet hands-on. I am excited to have learned enough about silkscreening to create my own pieces and I will be exploring this fun medium further in the future. Thanks!

    I had a great time despite an initial hiccup (mostly my fault). The class was very informational and entertaining. The instructor--Erik--was super helpful and patient. The Trestle space is lovely, albeit a little out of the way location-wise. All my expectations were lived up to. I feel like I have a very good handle on the screen printing process and can't wait to make more! (About the hiccup: Due to transportation issues, I arrived 20 minutes late--my bad!--when I tried to access Trestle, the door was locked, the doorbell did not function, and there was no indication of how to get in w/o assistance. The instructor--again, he was great--had provided his contact info in an email to all the attendees the day before. I called and texted him but got no answer so I stood by the door for another 25 minutes. The instructor finally received my messages and let me in! Luckily, I was able to catch up with the rest of the class but while I was outside I was afraid I would either need to give up on the class--and lose my tuition--or I'd be so far behind, it wouldn't be worth taking the class at all.)

    Class space was too small for the number of people showed up. And in fact 2 others were supposed to be there too. As a result, it was hard to get table space for the final much anticipated printing on the cloth step. (I had smudges from others' on my work.) Instructor himself was very helpful and nice in general.

    Definitely learned some great tips and tricks for DIY printing. The class overall just seemed to be pricy. $85 for the class +$40 material fee.
