We were so excited to play a small role in supporting Workshops at Arrowmont 2024, designed to provide creative opportunities for anyone who wants to learn new skills and be energized and inspired. It was truly rewarding to see participants from all walks of life come together, share their experiences, and grow through the power of creativity. Special thanks to Salvador Jiménez-Flores. #artist #art

Who said limitations stifle creativity? In screen printing, a limited palette becomes a powerhouse of expression! 🎨 Using just a few colors, artists can blend and layer to produce a stunning array of shades and dynamic artwork. Have you ever experimented with a limited color palette in your projects? #speedballart #printmaking #screenprinting
