About Better Than Jam's Store & Studio
"Better Than Jam" is the textile printing and fashion line of owner Karin Persan, since 2007. CLOSED 2025. The newest space, post Covid, of the same name is now at 10 Grattan Street. There is a small showroom with remnants of the boutique that ran 10+ years that hosted handmade creations of local designers. However the space now is mainly the large private studio of the creator, where screenprinting and textile dyeing occurs. You will be welcomed into the artist's creation space! A little different for returning students but still great and lucky to have.
COVID Precautions:
All students must fill out a form the week of your class. This form changes as the times do. All students must be comfortable and safe in my sessions.

This class far exceeded my expectations. I came home with four beautiful pieces even though this was my first time dying.
