Everyone’s welcome to join us in the studio
We do things a little differently at Campfire Printing Press. Our print sessions blend the freedom of an open studio with the level of support you would expect from a class. Instead of following a predetermined lesson plan, you’ll work at your own pace on your own projects, with expert printmakers present to offer guidance, demonstrations, and hands-on assistance as needed. It’s a space designed for curiosity, exploration, and growth, where printers of all experience levels learn from us, as well as each other.
Print Sessions are available in a few varieties:
No experience is necessary to join Community or Individual print sessions, and new folks can to join in at any time.
Open Hours
Drop in any Wednesday between 5 and 7pm to see the studio and talk about your project ideas.
