Intaglio is a family of printmaking processes in which an image is created by incising or etching marks into a metal plate. To print, the plate is run through the press under high pressure to pull the ink from the grooves. Campfire supports the full range of intaglio processes such as etching, drypoint, aquatint, and mezzotint. Our 40” x 72” Takach press allows artists to print at any scale.

Monoprinting is an open-ended process that uses inks, stencils, brayers, and other simple tools to creates one-of-a-kind prints. It’s an especially inviting process for beginners and painters. Because the image is created fresh each time, monoprinting encourages experimentation and spontaneity. While variations or “ghost prints” may be pulled, each print remains unique.

Relief printing is a process in which the raised surface of a block, typically wood or linoleum, carries the ink, while the carved-away areas remain unprinted. It is known for its bold marks, strong contrast, and graphic clarity and is one of the most accessible and versatile forms of printmaking.

Our 4’x6’ vacuum table allows artists to screenprint projects at any scale. For smaller projects, we can easily add hinges to our general work tables. We provide emulsion and we have a full range of water-based inks for paper and fabric on hand for $1/ounce.
