| - Ask yourself when the last time was that you had a craft night. It's probably been a while, particularly if you don't have kids. A handful of us Yelpers gathered for a CMYE on a cool, wet February eve to partake in the wonders printing.
After a warm greeting, some tea and cookies, and light conversation we got down to business to find out exactly what we were here to do. The staff took us through the process of using the letter press and mono printing. They were very thorough and gave us some ideas of where to start.
The letter press was pretty straightforward and once everyone had had a turn making a couple of cards we were able to use the remaining time to set up our own words and combinations. I came up with two of the following:
YELP
*****
and
AMAZING
LOVE
WELCOME
Eric M. and Vivek came up with some good lines too, but you can read them in their reviews.
The mono printing was fun and definitely the most creative side of the evening. We got a plate covered in black ink as our canvas of sorts. From there, there was a table full of goodies to cut, dip, and tear into. Who knew a popsicle stick, a q-tip, some lace , and a piece of rolled up felt could turn into a personal masterpiece worthy of hanging on your fridge.
Check these guys out for a workshop. Totally worth the $35 for an evening of fun with your friends.
