A must for any kid interested in storytelling and experiencing what it takes to make a film.

I'm generally SUPER awkward and she somehow got me out of my shell immediately and made me feel so comfortable like I was at home. At one point we decided to do an in-studio photoshoot and she took it upon herself to send me a bunch of different options + made sure it was easy for me to travel to. I hired her to create content for my Instagram and those posts have the most likes out of everything else! She also edited the photos exactly how I would - made everything look really natural and not over the top filtered/edited like I see other work turn out like. Love love love her work and how she is as a human and very happy I found her.

I was supposed to have the…read morepictures photoshoped within a week but it has been more than 4 months and I still have not received my photos improved any way. She would not remove imperfections herself. Did I say she has no vision? Even after asking her to fix a few photos in certain way like making me slimmer she still would not do that. All pictures came out very dark and I had to fix the light myself on free online photo editors. Everytime she promises me to finish the job in a few days but that day never comes. Do not pay her in cash! Only CC because if she does not carry out her professional duties you will have a choice to dispute the transaction. It's not funny at all. Since I paid her cash now I have to put up with her unprofessional behavior. I am dealing with her again. (I planed a few photosessions with her initially since I was told she is great. Don't buy that. She is a pain in the neck)

Went there in person to see if they could do what I wanted done. They showed me how they print and…read morewere eager to get my business. I thought I'd found a real quality professional screen printing business. Unfortunately they turned out to be anything but. I was charged $5491 for print services in March. They set the timeline of 7-10 business days and could not deliver within their set timeline as the proofing process they state they complete prior to charging had not been completed. They blamed me, the customer for delays. After we were charged and had not approved all proofs I asked why I was charged without receiving proofs as they stated i would review and approve all proofs prior to being charged. My manager/graphic designer called to ask what we could do to on our end to help move this job forward. Sarah, the employee who spoke with my manager began to cry and go through all her problems but would not answer the question. Except to say that they don't really don't do graphic design at all ( she ironically had been introduced to me as the graphic designer) my manager then asked her if she was the in house graphic designer, she replied "no." That was very strange..... The owner Brian called us back and told us to "be nice to his girls" after he accused me of lying and stating that everything was filled out on this quote form that he personally created and that is how he KNOWS I'm lying. After he calmed down I informed him that I never received this "quote form" he said " you never filled out a quote form?" I replied "no" and promptly said "I'll call you back." He called back and i was expecting him to apologize for his accusations. Nope, Brian just continued with no apology for his completely untrue accusation and was very rude blaming my manager for upsetting his staff. I had been present on the call my manager placed and knew that she was in no way rude to anyone at that establishment, in fact she's one of the kindest most pleasant humans I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I'm sure you are wondering why I didn't go pick up my blanks and tell old Brian to kick rocks but I really needed the screen printing completed and it had already been paid for. They finally completed the proofing process but again missed their deadline of 7-10 business days. I was able to get 1/2 my order by the time they told me everything would be completed. I'm sure that was my fault too according to Brian, whom I've never met. The second 1/2 of my order was beyond messed up and incorrect. In fact they printed a completely different design on my blanks. I've attached a photo the black shirt has a design that was never approved, seen or sized appropriately. The grey sweatshirt has the correct design (it's fairly obvious). I called and spoke to Stephanie the sales manager and pointed out this error she saw what I was talking about and told me to email over photos and number of farmers that were incorrect. I did just that and received no reply from her. I emailed the following week and received a response from good old owner Brian who blames me, the customer again and told me there would be no refund and that was is final answer. Brian seems to be of the mindset that you can blame and bully people after taking their money and anything his business does incorrectly is the customers fault not his. Other reviews indicate this experience is not an isolated event. So if you are looking for a messed up inconsistent printing, full of excuses, insults and finger pointing then this is your place. If you want a professional screen printing business that stands behind their work with integrity and common sense business ethics I would suggest looking elsewhere.

I signed up and completed the Screen Printing 101 course, which is a fully immersive class into the…read moreworld of screen printing. This class is valued at $425, their most expensive course, and every dollar was worth it! While I learned a ton and found the course to really set a strong foundation for me, I ended the course wanting more, and wanting to take on projects myself, using the print lab. The problem I have with this place is that open studio hours are purely designed for full-time printers and those who have keys to a studio. The labs hours are m-f open til 5PM. Saturday open til 7. Sunday closed year-round. And during the summer, closed on Saturday. So for a good chunk of the year, the lab is only open for open studio hours m-f til 5pm. meh. The course took place in the evening after 7PM. Since I work m-f 9-5, the class worked out great for my schedule, but what's available for me at other times? For those who are looking to pursue a hobby outside of their daily lives, Gowanus Print lab, does not offer such opportunity. They offer 2-day passes (must be used in 2 consecutive days), week passes (same rules apply) and month passes (same rules). They do not offer day passes! Again, designed for full time printers. It's a rip off for those who can only go in for Saturdays. I asked why they don't offer single day passes, and they responded saying it's too hard to keep track of people in the studio. Ok, its 2017, there's an app for that. I inquired why they close on Saturdays during the summer, they said it's too hot for people to work. Are they telling me Saturdays are hotter than other days during the Summer? Honestly, the rules feel outdated, with no interest from staff to cater to ALL people interested in printing. I really loved the course and learned so much. I am dying to stay on top of the printing because it's fresh in my mind and I want to make sure I don't lose what I learned, but Gowanus Print Lab makes it really difficult to do so. I'm sure i'm not the only one with this concern. Advice for the lab: Please offer single day passes- No one understands your policy. If you were in my position, you might understand. Stay open on Saturdays! 'nuff said. And, if it's possible a couple nights a week, to stay open late, that would be dope! If none if this is possible, then please be more explicit with your scheduling and rules, especially to those who pay hundreds of dollars for a single course. And lastly, tell the woman who works the desk on Saturdays to be a bit nicer. Lotta shade coming from her. That is all.

My teacher is Giuliana, who is a native Italian. I am in the middle of Elementary A(2) with two other students. Giuliana's enthusiasm and love for teaching makes me look forward to each and every class. Her approach is to understand the language by speaking it in classroom conversations, not just studying it. Her smile and energy is infectious. A two hour class flies by. I have attended another very well known Italian class in Manhattan, but this class surpasses it by far. You are a name here, not just a number. I have learned and continue to learn so much from this school. Thank you Speakitaly (and Giuliana).

I had no prior experience with drums but decided it was just something I wanted to do. Stephen is a great teacher. Very patient and passionate about the learning experience. I was surprised to find how many other people had also chosen to take up drumming later in life. Lots of adult students and of course he teaches kids as well. The best part...you get to play with a band. Every spring and fall he puts on a show at Arlene's Grocery downtown. It's basically a recital and you get to play one or two songs with a full band in front of a real audience. Some students have there own bands but the rest play with the band Stephen pulls together. I played my first show last fall and it was soooo much fun. I'll be performing again in June. You can check out past shows on youtube by typing in Stephen Hund.
