JUAN TABO Library -- Hands On Kids Print Workshop

We gave a hands on print workshop for children at the Juan Tabo Public Library in Albuquerque on May 30, 2026 -- as part of the kick off for the Summer Reading Program they have every year:

Children's Print Workshop -- Juan Tabo Library

While this was a children's print workshop, we didn't post any photos of the children on purpose.  However we did post a lot of photos of the STAR WARS contingent:
