I have printing experience outside of AGA LAB. Can I still come and work?
To be able to work in our DIY studio we require people to complete an intro (free of charge) for an hour maximum. The technical assistant will walk you through the work flow and determine whether you can work by yourself.
However, we strongly encourage you to complete a workshop to get a full understanding of your preferred technique, in order to avoid the need for assistance.
