Your pet deserves 15 minutes of fame! And a custom-made portrait!
Learn the basics of screen printing and create a hand illustrated portrait of your favorite furry friend. We'll be using an accessible, non-darkroom method that can easily be replicated at home. Each participant will create an edition of 6 handmade, 8"x10" custom portraits of their own pet using drawing templates and Melissa’s guidance.

Mutual Adoration frames will be available in the shop at a 20% discount for workshop attendees.

We’ll email all registrants with instructions for how to select and send your pet’s photo before class. Nothing fancy needed - high resolution cell phone photos will work fine on newer phone models.
