We have started painting our MESH BAGS!  You can stop by our tent at the Taste and Art Stoll in Del Mar to purchase one of these sweet bags. They are great for the beach, market, or just a day shopping. Super green and super chic!

print-tastic student work!

Have you always wanted to learn screen printing but found that all the kits were too expensive, and the materials too toxic? We can show you how to create beautiful prints inexpensively with a tiny carbon foot print. All water based, simple and fast! A few samples of our students work, from our last Screen Printing Workshop. You can make something this cool too, sign up for our newsletter!

tiny totes

We just got finished making these super cute tiny totes for a group of lovely young ladies. These were custom made with each girls initial, you can get one today too! They are perfect for every fairy princess or green goddess you know! (as always these bags are made of recycled material and have a super small carbon footprint!)

Sundowner

We had a great time at our first Sundowner event with the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce! Marshall Weinreb, the new President and CEO of the Encinitas Chamber gave a heart felt talk and we were thrilled with the response we got, after donating a bag for the monthly raffle! Get your very own today! Better yet sign up for one of our classes and leave with a custom bag that you’ve designed & painted yourself.

Moving and Shaking!

Our bags are really getting noticed! Even Maggie Houlihan, Mayor of Encinitas, has one! Nancy painted this awesome 92024 zip code bag and presented it to Maggie on Tuesday. The Mayor said it was the one that caught her eye! We were so thrilled! You too can get a custom 92024 bag, just call us today!

super student work

Here is just a sampling of some of the great things we made in our screen printing workshop. The students got two colors done in one class, which is pretty awesome. These posters would look great in any room!

Wouldn’t you love to have this in your home. We will be selling these and other one of a kind screen prints at Del Mar’s upcoming Taste and Art Stroll in October.
