New at DIY Printing

      DIY Printing has been super busy so my apologies for not blogging more. Our new studio is already filled up with equipment. We have artists and projects printing in the studio all the time and are continuing to grow. We thank everyone for there support and energy. We also thank everyone for Screen Printing in DIY Printing and putting up artwork. Our walls are starting to look like a gallery of cool screen prints of every shape, form and style we could imagine. Some of you may know them and some of these artist may just blow your mind. We are having some local artist coming into DIY Printing December 7&8th for the Essex Art Walk. They will be printing there artwork and giving a demo of their artwork as well as selling their work. So come on out and support some local art. Also we are putting on a New Years Eve printing party. This will get started 9ish Monday the 31st and we will be printing the night away bringing in the New Year making artwork! This is a very chill party so bring what you want and get ready to print. We also have partnered up with the Art academy of Cincinnati and have started running classes through them. so if your dying to learn screen printing or just want and excuse to get your butt into the studio this is it! Contact the Art Academy of Cincinnati for information and updates on classes at DIY Printing. We are also putting together a Mono screen printing class. We hope to have this running soon but again keep your eyes on the Art Academy of Cincinnati they will post it when its up and running. We have also had allot of local business come and support DIY Printing and help us keep our doors open through asking us to print for them. This also helps local starving artist because DIY Printing only hires artist to help with our work load and projects we take on. We are also starting to print more fine art prints for artists. We are always so excited to be working for artist. We love them and hope they love us. That being said we love artist and hope to keep on growing to be the best silkscreen studio in Cincinnati for artist. Hope to see you in the studio soon!

News at DIY Printing

Yes you heard correct we are moving to the ESSEX this month! We actually have a date of Sunday the18th should you want to come and help in the big move. We are very excited because we will have more space to print and expand our equipment. It would be awesome to get our 4ft x 8ft vacuum table up and printing again. I really want to see some huge prints come off it since it has a printing arm to help out in big prints! All in all DIY Printing is really looking forward to it's new home at the ESSEX and cant wait to settle in and get printing again. Other then that we finished up springboard a class at ArtWorks for small business. We learned a lot and hope to use the knowledge to keep this studio going! We are still printing away at DIY Printing with many different projects in Cincinnati and working with some great people! we are also working with some awesome studios like Southpaw and hope to have them come give some demo's at DIY Printing once we are set up at ESSEX. Also I hope to resume open studio nights and get a better schedule together as far as the rest of the year. Again thank you all for all your support and hope to see you the 18th to help DIY Printing move!

News at DIY Printing

DIY Printing is still going! We are Printing Artwork and prints as well as printing T-Shirts for clients. We have recently partnered up with Visionary and Voices to see if we cant get some great projects started. We are looking forward to the short class we will be teaching to VOV February 27th and 28th. DIY Printing is still going strong with KB on the mural project. KB has been printing canvas bags and selling them to generate money for the mural project. She is is also collecting photos from different neighborhoods to help in laying the ground work of the silkscreen aspect of these murals. All of this has been an awesome project and working with KB has been just the bast. On a bit of a different note DIY Printing has to move out of the space we are in. This is good because we are getting a bigger space and might be moving into ESSEXS studio. This would be awesome because of the parking and the 4 show a year they have. these shows bring in the public and would see the studio of  DIY Printing. Also did I mention a bigger space. This means I will be busy as hell moving really big equipment (again) but I hope to a better studio! We want even more artist printing artwork out of DIY Printing and hope to be teaching more classes as well. Also I'm pretty sure on top of open studio nights we will add on a open drawing night to our schedule and throw in some open crit nights to get DIY Printing really going! I always have tons of stuff going on at DIY Printing so if your feeling motivated and want to make some artwork stop on by to DIY Printing. I would love to see what your working on and and love for you to use the studio.
