Explore printmaking through print sessions, workshops, and special events
Print Sessions, with monthly Process Spotlights, ensure that anyone, from those new to printmaking to advanced printers, are able to bring their project to fruition.
Artist-led Workshops offer bespoke opportunities to explore a new skill or process alongside a contemporary artist who incorporate printmaking materials or processes into their artistic practice.
Occassional special events round out the calendar and ensure that there are plenty of opportunities to visit, learn, and print at Campfire Printing Press.
Drop in any Wednesday between 5 and 7pm to see the studio and talk about project ideas.

Process Spotlight: Block Printing Stationary
Block printing is one of the oldest—and most versatile—forms of printmaking. From a hand-carved block (typically wood or linoleum), artists have long used this process to print everything from textiles and books to grassroots posters. With “the hand” clearly visible, block printing remains wonderfully tactile and expressive in an otherwise very digital world.

Process Spotlight: Drypoint
A Friendly Introduction to Intaglio Printing
Using plexiglass plates, explore drypoint—a direct and intuitive gateway into the world of intaglio. This session demystifies the intaglio process by first demonstrating traditional copperplate intaglio, then inviting everyone to create and print their own 5”x7” plate. This is a great entry point for anyone curious about the many intaglio printing, which includes dry point, etching, engraving, aquatint, mezzotint, and more. Participants are welcome to bring images to reference or to trace.

Process Spotlight: Screenprinting on Paper
Learn the ropes of screenprinting by “translating” a simple image (bring your own, or use a sample from our image library) into a two-color print. Working with analog materials, we will explore various ways to use color, texture, and shape to produce stunning screenprints. Along the way, you’ll get a full overview of the process and learn how to prepare and develop an image or design specifically for screenprinting.

Process Spotlight: Screenprinting on Fabric
Have a t-shirt idea or a graphic you’d love on a tote? This spotlight provides step-by-step instruction in printing a one-color image on fabric. We’ll start with a tutorial on screen exposure, help you set up your print station, guide you through printing, and finish by heat-setting your garments so they’re wash-safe. This is a great entry point for anyone curious about printing on fabric, and offers a foundation for larger or multi-color projects.
