FLATBED COMMUNITY SHOP

Joining the Community

To join Flatbed’s Community Shop you must apply and give a brief statement about your studio practice. We would like to know about the studios you have worked in and what experience you have had. If you do not have a lot of experience, you may want to take a master class with us to see if the membership will be a good fit for your practice. All members will be required to participate in a shop orientation and be certified for using the equipment. This is a one time fee of $50.

If you want more information or have questions, please email us at info@flatbedpress.com.
