Print Club Demos are a great way to get familiar with a printmaking method you’ve never tried before. Anyone can sign up for our Print Club days, but Print Club members can use their discount code in order to get the Print Club discount.Print Club membership is a part of our Studio Membership program. Membership has many benefits, including a 50% off discount for Print Club demos and the Open Studio sessions that follow them!
Print Club days are broken down into two sessions: In the morning, there is an interactive technical demo, and in the afternoon, participants can stick around for Open Studio. All are welcome to sign up for the demo only ($50), or to sign up for the demo and the Open Studio ($100 total), but the demo is a prerequisite for the Open Studio. This means that if you don’t sign up for and attend the demo, you cannot come to the Open Studio.
This print club is designed to introduce participants to carving and printing linocuts. This demo will include prepping linoleum, transferring designs, carving techniques and printing with an etching press. Participants will get a chance to carve and print during the demo and leave the class with materials to make their own linocuts. Participants will also get a sense of how it feels to work in a communal space surrounded by artists with similar interests and will leave with a working knowledge of shop etiquette and printing techniques.
Our Open Studio session follows the demo. It is a great opportunity to experiment with the skills taught in the demo or to use our common studio space to work on a personal printmaking project in a communal, print-focused environment. We strongly recommend signing up for the Open Studio as well, if you are coming to the demo. It will allow you to absorb your new skills better if you can put them to work right away.
