A Fun "Taste Test" of Printmaking
Print Play
Print Play are short 2-4 hour workshops perfect for anyone curious about printmaking but not ready to dive into long-term courses. These workshops offer an affordable, fun, and low-commitment way to explore printmaking. You’ll experiment with simple techniques and pre-made designs—materials are provided so you can just enjoy the process. Think of it as dipping your toes into the world of printmaking!
Bring a family member, colleague or your bestie and discover what makes printmaking so exciting. Print Play workshops may also align with current exhibitions or public programs.

Build Skills

For those ready to dive deeper, we offer structured courses and workshops that provide a comprehensive introduction to printmaking techniques. These include 6-week and 4-week core courses in screenprinting, etching, and lithography, as well as weekend workshops.
