*This summer, we’re offering a series of workshops designed to give students the freedom to take only one or string together a few workshops to build an equivalent to our Printmaking I class. Our workshop series will introduce students to printmaking equipment including how to use oil and water-based inks, proper paper preparation, and how to make prints by hand and with presses. You’ll work with a variety of instructors for each method to get a feel for different approaches and techniques.
Anyone enrolled in a printmaking workshop or class is eligible for a reduced rate for Community Print hours – offered once per week on Fridays – for the duration of the workshop/class. These spots can be purchased along with your class fee.
