@christinegittings Hi Christine, actually, we’re in Oakville, so a bit closer than Hamilton and we have a C&P Pilot which is closer in style to your Adana. We were thinking our workshops would be about 4 hours and cost $175. But since you’d be our test subject, we’d be happy to charge you only $100. We’d supply the paper. Does this interest you?…[Read more]

@christinegittings Welcome to the club Christine! I see you’re from the Toronto area too. Have fun learning all about your new press. I remember our first few impressions off our C&P Pilot – good thing my husband is mechanically inclined and loves getting his hands dirty or we’d still be pulling out our hair trying to get it right. I see Marlaine…[Read more]

@marlaine Marlaine, I’ve never met Margaret Lock, but I’ve heard she’s amazing! She is really well-respected as both an artist and craftsperson. You will learn a lot from her.

@marlaine Marlaine – I forgot to mention, if you’re using the boxcar base system, we found a polymer plate supplier in Mississauga who is just as good and you don’t have to pay duty. Check out Aries Flexographic and ask for Donna. Where are you thinking of taking your courses? Offering workshops is something we’ve been toying with for a while…

@marlaine Thanks for your wonderful comment! Good luck with the courses and good luck with your first press. Don’t be discouraged if the first few impressions are less than perfect. Figuring out how to make them perfect is half the fun.
