Loving these turtle color tests that The Venderia] has been experimenting with! 🐢

Posted • The Venderia] Turtle vision. Color test. Do you have a favorite color way ? I’m working on the next generation of inner animals.

I had no idea that I had really strong feelings about reptiles until recently. I kinda think they’re the best animals of all. So ancient. So above the bu****it. So self-loving, soaking up the sun when it feels good, reveling in their unsung superiority while rolling their eyes at the busyness of rodents & mammals. Turtles know what is important.

Posted • Happy Monday, bbs!

I got to spend a lot of time in the garden this weekend. The birds and flowers helped me relax—felt more relaxed than I had in a long time. I love seeing all the blooms and buds; and all the irises, foxgloves and campanula, stretching their lovely leaves and stems promising flowers to come.

My Etsy shop was closed for a week or so whilst I was out of town and I’ve reopened it with new things!

“Flowers Not Bombs” is limited edition risograph print with part of the proceeds going to Crisis Aid International]. Look at the pretty colors! Printed by the lovely folks at . Link in profile.

Is there anything you look forward this week? There is some very balmy temps being forecasted mid-week and I’d like to spend more outside and maybe some dyeing too. And check on my flower buds every day (of course).

Prepping for our April Riso Basics workshops this morning! Everyone always walks away with a pile of paper and prints and fortunately we give you an official outlet tote (plus some other fun stuff) to fill with the morning’s creations! 🏆

Y’all are amazing! ☀️ We’ve been selling out of our workshops fast so we decided to add a few extra Riso Basics classes for this summer—we love that you love riso as much as we do! We’re so so excited to be doing in person classes again and summer means we can open our garage doors and soak up the sun in our dreamy courtyard! We’re still requiring masks and vaccinations for these workshops in order to keep everyone feeling as safe as possible. If you’ve been on the waitlist for any of our workshops, or haven’t been able to make a Saturday class, now is the time! We’re experimenting with offering these on a few different weekday afternoons. We’re also still offering virtual classes! We hope you can join us!!

Taking this workshop means you can take advantage of our open hours—in person printing appointments where you work with one of our knowledgeable studio assistants to experiment and realize your print projects. Come hang out and print some fun stuff with us this summer! ☀️☀️☀️

It’s with a hurting, heavy heart that we’re printing up these memorial flyers for June “T-Rex” Knightly today. [content warning: graphic content]

As many of you know, on 2/19 an armed right-wing extremist opened fire on a group of protesters gathered at Normandale Park for a Justice for Amir Locke rally. T-Rex was killed in the shooting, and 4 others were wounded. T-Rex was a beloved activist and corker who was well-known in our community. She’s been an integral part of protests and organizing, especially these last few years, and words can’t express how much she will be missed. You can learn more about T-Rex via the link in our bio.

There is a memorial happening at Normandale Park run by community members focusing on mutual aid and carrying on T-Rex’s legacy. Anyone can bring candles, art, flowers, dinosaur figurines, food, supplies, or write messages in chalk to June, the other victims, and their families.

This feels like as good a time as any to remind you that we’re donating printing to mutual aid orgs and individuals doing work like this. We’ve still got free protest posters available for pickup (book a pickup appointment via the link in our bio) and have scholarships available for folks wanting to take workshops and print. The world is heavy but we continue to believe in the power of print 💛
