Best for
Adults curious about printmaking who want small-group workshops in a working cooperative studio, good for a single-technique introduction without committing to a full course.
What to expect
Each workshop focuses on one printmaking technique, monoprint, linocut, gel plate printing, or drypoint, with a demonstration followed by hands-on practice. Materials for the technique are typically included. Sessions are short-format and self-contained rather than progressive courses.
A working artist cooperative rather than a commercial studio. Small groups, technically focused instruction, and an environment shaped by working printmakers.
What to bring
Clothes you don't mind getting ink on. Materials are typically provided; confirm when booking.
