Ethos
a bit on ethos
IN 2015 AFTER FINISHING ART SCHOOL, I MOVED TO BERLIN AND BEGAN WORKING AT AN OPEN (TO THE PUBLIC) SCREEN PRINTING STUDIO. SEVERAL YEARS WERE SPENT HERE WORKING Closely WITH THE PUBLIC, PRINTING PROFESSIONALLY, AND LEARNING THE CRAFT.
THE OPEN NATURE OF A STUDIO ALLOWS FOR A TRANSFER OF KNOWLADGE AND CREATIVE IDEAS BETWEEN Participants. LEARNING AND GETTING BETTER AT WHAT WE DO IS A GROUP ACTIVITY, Brought ABOUT BY HELPING EACH OTHER GROW AND SHARe KNOWLeGE.
THIS IS CENTRAL TO THE ETHOS OF THE OPEN PRESS, AND AS MUCH AS IT IS A SPACE FOR YOU TO WORK ON PERSONAL PROJECTS IN PEACE, IT IS ALSO A SPACE FOR US ALL TO GROW AND CREATE TOGETHER.
the open press supports independent business and creative spirit and is wholly open to working alongside and building community with such enterprises.
