Screen printing isn't easy and there are a lot of variables (and opinions) to consider when you're learning how to print. Jennifer Sanderson of Pigskins & Pigtails (https://www.pigskinsandpigtails.com) wasn't afraid of the challenges and has paved a way for crafters and beginner screen printers to learn screen printing through her content and tutorials and her new screen printing press that she partnered with Ryonet to create (https://ssp.ink/pigskinspress). I really enjoyed this chat with Jennifer and I'm excited to share it with you all. She's doing great things for the craft and screen print industry and we're lucky to have her.
In this interview we talk about her experience, how she got started, how she learned screen printing, why finding your ideal customer is important, and how to enjoy the process and love facing new challenges head on.
