Our Monthly Drink & Draw! Wed., Aug. 4, 7:00 at Spudnik Press… Drink and Draw is our monthly night devoted to drawing practices. There’s no teacher and no pretensions. We provide a theme for the evening and some booze. Please come, bring paper and bring your friends while you’re at it.
This time around, we’re gonna be fingerpainting. That’s right, put away your fancy pencils and brushes and hi-tech gear. It’s time to get kindergarten on it….

Yes. FREE. Free as a bird. Free, free, free!! In celebration of Spudnik Press turning 3, we want you to come hang and print with us all day this Saturday! Starting at 11 am, Spudnik members will be offering free screenprinting and monoprinting lessons to all visitors. Materials will be provided by Spudnik but we encourage bringing additional materials of choice.

If you ever wanted to know what printing is all about and what makes it sooo deliciously addictive, then come on by and check us out! Plus you’ll get to walk away with your own hand-printed greeting card or a sweet-lookin’ patch.

And while at Spudnik, you can browse our collection of prints, ask us questions, tell us some jokes, and learn more about the fabulous community of printing. Sounds great right?!

See ya there!!
