Junior high art club members had a screen printing workshop on Tuesday, hosted by Josh Thorson of Ryuju Collective. Josh is a Tri-Point graduate and working fashion artist. His work has been featured at Denver Fashion Week, and in many exhibits, media articles, and videos. The students got to screen print "ART IS COOL" t-shirts designed by Josh, and then worked on designing and patching their own clothing. It was great for them to have a Tri-Point graduate show them that they can follow their dreams.
