Who’s teaching this
Charlotte @charlotte
Crafty Charlotte spent five years on Etsy building a printmaking business before moving her teaching to MingleIn. Her work is mostly botanical and Australian-bush-inspired. She teaches the way she learned — slowly, with permission to make ugly first attempts.
Print with a friend
Schedule a Watch Party for Module 4 (the inking module) and pull your first prints together. It's the messy fun part — better with company.
