Have YOU visited @gingerlimeprint yet?! 👀

Our Department Director Sara popped in the other day to catch up with Kelsey, our very own Lillstreet teacher and longtime community member, and check out her exciting new venture. And folks… IT’S WORTH THE HYPE! 👏✨

Kelsey’s brick-and-mortar shop is full of printed goodness and the kind of gifts that make you look like you have excellent taste (because, well… if you’re buying Kelsey’s merch, you definitely do!).

Go pay her a visit, show some love, and pick up something PRINT-tastic! 😉💛

Get your blue on!! Sign up at the link in our bio!

NEW TEACHER ALERT! 👀 We’re very excited to welcome Jasjyot Singh Hans (@jasjyotjasjyot) to Lillstreet!

Tuesdays, November 17–December 15, 6:30–9:30 PM.

ANNA WAGNER APPRECIATION POST! 👀🚨

Last year’s Artist-in-Residence @annawagnerart is back for Early Winter, but not for long! This is your last chance to take a class with Anna before she takes a little break, so we’d highly recommend getting inky with her while you can!

We’ve got FOUR ways to get your printmaking fix with Anna this Early Winter:

Shaped Plate Copper Etching
Mondays, Nov 16-Dec 14 | 10 AM-1 PM

Collagraphs: Eco-Friendly Printmaking
Tuesdays, Nov 17-Dec 15 | 2-5 PM

Introduction to Etching
Tuesdays, Nov 17-Dec 15 | 6:30-9:30 PM

Drypoint in a Day: Learn the Basics of Engraving
Friday, Dec 11 | 6:30-9:30 PM

Four classes = four very good reasons not to wait! Come make some prints with Anna!

Before your printer could spit out 100 cards in 10 seconds, people were doing it the really cool way: letterpress. Think antique type, vintage image blocks, and beautifully inky impressions!

Get a little history, get a little hands-on, and print a set of cards that puts your drugstore greeting cards to shame this holiday season with the one and only @radkatdesign!

Wednesdays, November 18–December 16, from 6:30–9:30 PM (no class November 25!).

Turns out, you can judge a book by its cover when you make the cover yourself 🤷‍♀️ Learn to fold, stitch, and bind your very own hardcover book this Early Winter with @toobluepress!

Mondays, November 16–December 14. Come make a book! 💛

You and Riso? Getting pretty serious, huh? 👀 Time to take things to the next level in @meh.work’s Advanced Riso: Studio Time class this Early Winter! 🌈

More colors, more layers, more happy little printing accidents (probably). Shenanigans encouraged!

Wednesday nights, November 18–December 16. Come get inky!

Wait, is it Christmas?? NOPE! Just the first day of Fall Session II at @lillstreet! 🎁📚

Come unpack a book arts decorative paper order because apparently we’re just supposed to act NORMAL about receiving a box full of these beauties??? 👀🤌

We can’t wait to see what students make with these! And speaking of making things… have YOU signed up for a book arts class yet? There are only a couple spots left! Chop chop! 🏃💨

Wanna be this cool? GOOD NEWS~~ We added a SECOND section of @hkmcm’s Advanced Beginner Relief class because y’all have excellent taste ✨
