Workshops

All our workshops are designed to offer you high-quality instruction and information in a relaxed and friendly setting. Ideas can be discussed and projects undertaken gradually at the pace of the student. Small group sizes and an informal atmosphere mean that you can learn from practice, observation, and discussion with other students. Workshops are held in our shop’s studio space, unless otherwise specified. Check back often for event dates and schedules. WE ARE 1976 loves to collaborate with artists, schools, art clubs, and other organizations for workshops. Please contact us for more information.

 

June 2012 Screenprinting Workshop with Holding Pattern



(flyer via Holding Pattern)

 

We probably get more emails about this than anything else! So, we're super excited that
Mike and Brian of Holding Pattern are back with their AWESOME SCREENPRINTING
WORKSHOP (click here, here, and here to see it in action.) 
  
Students will leave with the know-how and tools to screenprint as soon as they go home.
This workshop will include in-depth instruction on how to prep & burn a screen
and then
supervised printing at your own printing stations. Holding pattern will
provide a pre-burned
screen for the workshop, but students will still have the option to
have a custom screen
(which Holding Pattern will burn for you in advance) for you for
an additional $40 (
if you are interested in this, after you've registered, please email us
at info@weare1976.com
because we will need to get a digital artfile from you in advance.)

Terrarium Workshop is Back!


 

A few weeks ago we had our first Terrarium Workshop with Tish. It was so much fun and
we've had a ton of requests to do it again! So we got another one set up, guys!
  
Hope y'all can Join Tish Brewer of Buckethead + Bear on Thursday night, April 5th at 6:30pm
to create your own DIY Terrarium, your own world in a jar. You'll receive everything you need
to create a take-home mini ecosystem. Terrarium care is easy, no green thumb needed.
Once the plants become established inside the container, the terrarium recirculates most of
its moisture and requires only occasional misting. Don't fret, you'll go home with instructions
in addition to your new eco accessory!
