Blanca joined FUSE’s instructor team last year, teaching vinyl, laser, and Adobe Illustrator workshops. Prior to that, she was a FUSE member for two years. She started LatinxSwag, a small arts-based business printing, cutting, and selling stickers from her home. When she started having trouble keeping up with increasing demand, she took FUSE’s vinyl printing workshop. This not only helped her keep up with demand, it also enable her to expand to create more designs and offer additional options, such as bumper stickers.
Next, she took FUSE’s screenprinting workshop and learned to silkscreen, design, sew, and screenprint tote bags. She also took FUSE’s woodshop class and used the space to build her own store displays.
