What is printmaking?
Printmaking includes a range of processes where ink is transferred from one surface (a matrix) to another (the substrate) to create an image. There are several printmaking techniques, including silkscreen, relief, etching, relief, letterpress,and lithography.
Printmaking has been used for both artistic and commercial purposes for hundreds of years (books, illustrations, artworks, newspapers, posters, textiles, etc), and it continues to be a popular and versatile medium for artists who print on various surfaces, such as paper, fabric, wood, and metal.

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.
