Today the kids came and visited us at the print shop. We were able to show them the techniques that we have learned in class. I was working on the Press With Haley, and were were with two students at a time. We taught them how to load the ink on the press, how to set up the plate, and how to pull properly. It was very enjoyable displaying and teaching what we have recently learned to a new generation of future artists. Many of the prints that we did were not perfect, and I became skeptical of the future of printing the backs of my decks of cards. The experience with the kids was overall fantastic, and I really enjoyed encouraging the kids and working with them. I got to know each of the students more on a personal level, and was great to have them feel comfortable around me and the shop.
