website

I've not been on here recently as I've been busy designing a new website for the print workshop I go to. It's such a great place and they had such a poor website before which didn't do the place justice. Hopefully this new bright site will attract more people which will help keep it open as it's a bit strapped for cash since loosing part of it's funding.
