Dear All Printmakers,
Printmaking hours will be closed this Saturday the 22nd. They will resume next Saturday August 29th.

Open hours start at 10 am and end around 1 pm. I have noticed, however, that people tend to come around 11 am. Is 10 am too early for people? Would you rather the hours be changed to 11am-2pm? Please weigh in.
Warmly,
Becky
