What a wonderful turnout for our educators who led a workshop in printmaking at the CAM! We thank Beth Brann and Nancy Turner for their time and dedication to strengthening TLP in our local Cincinnati community. They took time to teach 40 educators techniques in woodblock printing on fabric.

Happy printing to all our educators!




 


Communications Committee
-Members Wanted-


Cecelia Tio, our Secretary and Chair of Communications, would like to help promote our TLP artists on our social media pages, but we need the help of our members!

She is looking for members who are willing to meet a minimum of 4 times a year to brainstorm and strategically plan for TLP's social media accounts and promotion in our local community. This will count towards your volunteer time with TLP!

If you have any questions or would like to show your interest, please contact Cecelia through her email. 



 


 

TLP Treasurer Needed
-Members Wanted-


In order for Tiger Lily Press to function as a Non-Profit Organization, we need to fulfill the roles in our Board so that TLP can stay in business for its members, which means we need a Treasurer. Our member Cecelia Tio has taken on this responsibility, but she needs help, as she already is maintaining the role of the Communications Chair.

Have any recommendations or know people/organizations that could fulfill this role? Have an interest but not quite sure how or where to start? Please contact your interest or questions to us through our email, we'd like to hear what you have to say! 


Follow Tiger Lily Press on Facebook, the Tiger Lily Press Community group on Facebook,  and Instagram. We can always be contacted via email as well!
