Community Printing Press & More!
Experienced printmakers, we welcome you to book time to use our studio facilities. We offer affordable rates for half or full day work flow.
Our printmaking open studio is an opportunity for visiting artists to have uninstructed time to explore and work on their own personal projects, prints, and practice their printmaking techniques. A volunteer studio monitor is present to answer questions and help, if needed.
