Thanks to everyone who made it to our Open House and Woodcut Workshop. Since then, we've hosted a collaborative relief printing event, given several studio tours, and welcomed our first studio member and a summer intern to the shop. Our facilities for intaglio, relief, and monotype are up and running, and we're putting the finishing touches on screen printing and plate lithography. Check out our policies to learn more about studio membership, private consultations, and assistance for special printing projects.
Rudy and I look forward to sharing the space with you. Please contact us if you'd like to schedule a time to see the studio, or if you have any questions.
Registration is open for three printmaking classes in July-August. We'd love to see you there!
