Screen Printing
The Screen Printing tools are in two locations at GPMS. The Dirty Arts labs holds a 4-color printing press. The Dark Room holds the UV-box for curing screens. As we continue to get this area set up, it is advised that members plan to bring all of their own supplies for screen-printing.
Pottery
At GPMS, we provide a tools and materials for making pottery items. There is low-fire class and mid-fire clay available for purchase. We also have an assortment of glazes avaialbe. There are a few wheels for throwing and plenty of tools for hand building and scupting. Our kiln will be fired by either the pottery coordinator or the lab coordinator, not general members.
