Printmaking Instructional Open Studio is for those who have taken Intro to Screenprinting or Intro to Relief Printing, or are able to show they have adequate past experience in screenprinting or relief printing. The goal of our Instructional Open Studio is to provide a space for printmakers to continue using the methods and techniques they’ve learned in class to make prints with an instructor present to answer questions and provide help when needed. During the hours devoted to Instructional Open Studio, students may come in and work freely. This is not a led class. We hope to create an environment where students can experiment and get creative while having a community of support!
Instructional Open Studio instructors will vary month to month. Times and instructors are subject to change. Students can come to any or all time slots. Please have your space cleaned up by the end of studio time as the center closes promptly at 8pm.

Tuesdays, 5-8 p.m.
Saturdays, 12:30-3:30 p.m.
