Open Printmaking Studio

the open printmaking studio TEMPORARILY CLOSED
IN PREPARATION of BUILDING RENOVATION

Self Help Graphics & Art’s Open Printmaking Studio or OPS, supports working artists in their exploration of both traditional and experimental printmaking in the forms of relief, intaglio, and monotype. Through workshops, lectures and exhibits, we encourage interest in the history and production of the fine art prints – for the general public as well as for artists. The studio is a collegial, creative and experimental environment, with printmaking equipment at affordable prices.

In order to keep the studio fee modest and to encourage the spirit of giving back to the arts community, each artist who uses the Open Printmaking Studio to print an edition, is also required to donate 20% of their artworks to the SHG sale inventory.

Access to the OPS is granted after an artist completes an orientation or has successfully completed any of workshop facilitated by SHG’s teaching artists.

Beginning March 2023, the OPS will be temporarily closed in preparation of our building renovation.

BOOKING TEMPORARILY unavailable
