    Learning to love the process and try new things with Jennifer Sanderson of Pigskins & Pigtails

    Screen printing isn't easy and there are a lot of variables (and opinions) to consider when you're learning how to print. Jennifer Sanderson of Pigskins & Pigtails (https://www.pigskinsandpigtails.com) wasn't afraid of the challenges and has paved a way for crafters and beginner screen printers to learn screen printing through her content and tutorials and her new screen printing press that she partnered with Ryonet to create (https://ssp.ink/pigskinspress). I really enjoyed this chat with Jennifer and I'm excited to share it with you all. She's doing great things for the craft and screen print industry and we're lucky to have her.  In this interview we talk about her experience, how she got started, how she learned screen printing, why finding your ideal customer is important, and how to enjoy the process and love facing new challenges head on.  ------------------------------------------ 💰 Learn how to grow a profitable business: https://ssp.ink/course ✅ Support the channel on Patreon for exclusive content: https://ssp.ink/patreon 😎 Join The Print Crew for FREE ➡ https://ssp.ink/print-crew?utm_source=yt 💯 Get my pre-registration template ➡ https://ssp.ink/reg-template?utm_source=yt 🧰 The Screen Printing Toolbox ➡ https://screenprintingtoolbox.com?utm_source=yt 🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast ➡ https://ssp.ink/podcast 📷 Instagram ➡ https://ssp.ink/instagram ☕️ Buy me a coffee: https://ssp.ink/coffee ------------------------------------------ 🔥 Companies & Products I trust and use in my screen printing business ⬇️ ⃗⃗✅ All my cabinets & tables are from Sam's Club - https://ssp.ink/seville-classics ✅ Best screen printing supplies and equipment - https://ssp.ink/ryonet ✅ Best cleanup wipes to have in the shop - https://ssp.ink/wipes ✅ Best film printer under $250 - https://ssp.ink/ip8720 ✅ Design and art graphics - https://ssp.ink/retrosupply ✅ Quietest air compressor - https://ssp.ink/air ✅ Best screen frames for home print shops - https://ssp.ink/ecoframes ✅ Best bookkeeping and invoicing software (FREE) - https://ssp.ink/zohobooks ✅ Best laser engravers - https://ssp.ink/xtool ✅ Legal terms for your website - https://ssp.ink/termly ✅ Best website hosting - https://ssp.ink/dreamhost ✅ I only use Green Galaxy water based ink - https://ssp.ink/greengalaxy ✅ I manage my life and business with Notion - https://ssp.ink/notion ✅ I use Airtable for my pricing calculator - https://ssp.ink/airtable ✅ I print on a Riley Hopkins 300 - https://ssp.ink/riley300 ✅ I host my podcast with Transistor - https://ssp.ink/transistor ✅ I get all of my domain names from Namecheap - https://ssp.ink/namecheap NOTE: Many of the links above are affiliate links.
