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. 
"...Via this work, I interweave the personal and political, to strengthen local-global perspectives of colonization's impact. I share my family’s stories as a frame through which we can better understand one another as different peoples connected through shared struggles—and shared imaginings for something beyond what our stories seem to be." Jenie Gao (they/she) has run an anti-gentrification arts business since 2014, specializing in printmaking, public art, social practice, and community storytelling. They consult for cultural organizations and the public sector on equity and ethics. 
Explore the possibilities of print this fall! Through Varied Impressions, Alberta Printmakers is showcasing the range of printmaking techniques that can be learned and created within our Calgary-based community studio. From lithography and letterpress to etching and silkscreen - each mini display will be a window into a different method, showcasing the creative potential that print-media can bring to any artistic practice.

DATES: October 26, November 2, and November 16, 2025 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.

DATES: October 14, 16, 21, 23, 28, and 30 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.
