One-on-One Tutorials

Looking for a refresher or to hone your existing skillset? A One-On-One Tutorial might be right for you!

These tutorial options are designed for those who have pre-existing skills and would either like a refresher or a short session (minimum of 3 hours) with an instructor who is knowledgeable in an intermediate technique to grow your existing know-how.

We can mainly coordinate sessions with instructors who are experienced in lithography, etching/intaglio, relief, and silkscreen processes.

Contact us with your one on one inquiry and we will be in touch with you to discuss tutorial options and rates.

Please note: one on one tutorials are not as comprehensive as a workshop and do not serve as a workshop substitute. A/P staff may require several weeks lead time to make arrangements with potential instructors, and scheduling these tutorials is subject studio and instructor availability.
