Private Lesson
All workshops, classes, lessons, and studio rental are booked without a set date and time. Permission required to book sessions based upon taking a class or lesson with Ted to learn how to use the studio. You will be contacted after registering to schedule the lesson. If you want to confirm a subject or specific date/time before registering, please use the contact form to send me a message.
Description
The studio and studio printing equipment is available to rent for personal projects. Multiple sessions may be purchased and scheduled at different days. A 'full day' may not be split into multiple days... so you cannot reserve one day and use parts of it on different days. If you do not need a single long block of time, please purchase multiple 2-hour sessions.

Materials and Safety Notes
All of the materials, ink, and cleanup solutions are non-toxic and do not require the general use of protective gloves or face masks. The ink used in this course is water-based and easy to clean, but once it is dry the pigments can stain fabrics. Wear clothing that can get dirty. If your skin is very sensitive, thin gloves that permit unhampered use of fingers are fine. The use of hand creams and moisturizers are also safe, as there are no chemicals being used that can react with them.
