I love having access to not only the facilities, the expertise, but also the community — people at the printshop, other artists, renters, class participants, teachers, workshop people, etc, etc. All around it’s been such a positive, energetic, dynamic, hard-working and fantastic community to be a part of (sharing of resources, ideas, enthusiasm, information, etc, etc).
