Print(ed) Word is a collection of artist books that were created through pairing 12 local writers with 12 local print-artists who collaborated in reimagining existing texts into hand-made book forms. This project was led by A/P and Loft 112 with funding support from Canada Council for the Arts. The permanent installation in Calgary's Central Library was made possible through the support of Calgary Public Library, Calgary Public Library Foundation, and the J K L MacLachlan Family Foundation. 
A/P's Annual Print Market! 
During July and August 2026, 9 local youth explored tactile printmaking techniques to interpret their world through art. Using linocut and monotype, they translated ideas, images, and materials that inspire them into their own forms of expressive mark-making. Each of their artworks will be featured in the Crescent Heights Mini Galleries in 2 consecutive exhibitions. Expressions in Print: Linocut is the first of these 2 exhibitions.

DATES: October 25 and November 1 COURSE SUMMARY: The reduction process is one way of introducing colour into the relief printing process without the necessity of having multiple blocks. Students will be instructed on ways of designing imagery for reduction printing, useful approaches to the carving process, the use of a registration jig, and finally the setting of the press and printing. Participants should leave the workshop with a small edition of reduction prints designed and printed by themselves as well as a good foundation in the technique to allow them to continue with their own personal explorations. Some prior experience with relief printmaking (linocut or woodcut) is an advantage to taking this workshop but is not a necessity.

This course will cover a range of possibilities to transform photographs, digital creations, or drawn material into richly detailed lithographs. Participants will learn to process a photosensitive plate, exposing it to light to develop a printable image. This course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed.

DATES: November 7 COURSE SUMMARY: Over the course of a six-hour workshop, participants will be shown various approaches to chine collé and will be given ample opportunity to actively practice, play, and experiment with the technique through a series of prescribed and self-determined exercises. Participants should leave the workshop with a portfolio of chine collé experiments and a good foundation in the technique to allow for continued personal exploration. Experience and understanding of basic printmaking is highly recommended for those interested in taking this workshop, though it is not a necessity due to the technique being very accessible to all. Artists, printmakers, and creators working in collage, installation, colour, and experimental print may find interest in this technique which is easily adaptable to individual ways of making.
$135.00 – $165.00

DATE: Saturday, November 7 About the workshop: Are you curious about cyanotype and wondering what you can do with this magical medium? In this workshop you will not only learn the basics of preparing, exposing and developing your own cyanotypes, but how to take them several steps further through toning, bleaching, and multiple exposures. During the first day of the workshop, you’ll prepare cyanotype solution before applying it to paper, and then expose your imagery using both the sun and exposure unit equipment to create several of your own prints. Then, using dye baths and registration strategies for multiple exposures, you’ll move beyond the quintessential cyanotype blue to achieve rich browns, reds, yellows, and even some colour combinations on the same print! Participants will gain the know-how and confidence to continue their cyanotype journey both at home or in a studio environment.
$150.00 – $180.00

DATES: November 8, 15, and 22 COURSE SUMMARY: Screen printing (or silkscreen) is a printmaking technique where layers of ink are pulled through a mesh screen to create a wonderfully detailed image, often with multiple layers of transparent ink interacting with one another. In this comprehensive workshop, students will gain an understanding of the processes involved in creating a screen print on paper within a professional printmaking studio and will leave with the knowledge and experience required to produce work independently. This course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed.
$375.00 – $405.00

DATES: November 17, 19, 24, 26, December 1, and 3 COURSE SUMMARY: About the workshop: Let us demystify stone lithography! A process that is more than 200 years old and uses an image drawn on a limestone to make hundreds of prints! In this process, an image is drawn using greasy materials. You can even use butter! The painterly marks achieved are unmatched to other techniques. Lucky for us, Alberta Printmakers is one of the few places in the province that offers lithography stones and equipment for use! This course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed. Participants will learn how to prepare, draw, etch, and print a litho stone to make a small edition.
