Community Print Sessions
Community Sessions are a great entry point for first-time printers and those looking to make art alongside others.
Offered most Wednesday evenings, printers can come for a single session to run a few prints or return weekly to tackle a large or ongoing project.
These sessions include access to all shared equipment, tools, and materials, plus additional hand tools and supplies to encourage experimentation and learning.
Not sure where to start? Get started with a Campfire-designed print project (coming soon).

Process Spotlights
Once a month, community print sessions are curated around a particular process. This allows us to show off the full range of what is possible at Campfire, and offer a chance to bring people together around a unique printmaking project or process. Each session with a process spotlight is great for first-time printers, experienced artists curious to learn a new process, and anyone who likes to be creative in a communal setting. Projects are designed to be completed within this single-session.
Process Spotlights are presented between 5:30-8pm, with the last hour reserved for optional open work time.
Process Spotlight require a $10 material fee in addition to the $65 community print session fee. (If this is your first print session, you just need to pay the material fee!)
