Workshops

Guest Artist Workshops

This curated series invites contemporary artists to share their practice. Each Guest Artist workshop includes an artist talk and a hands-on project. Topics range from technical printmaking skills to the bigger ideas printmaking can carry, reflecting our interest in the medium as craft, tool, and mode of expression.

Guest Artist workshops are offered a few times a year.

Guest Artist Workshop: Collagraphy with Anna Wagner

Anna Wagner is a self-described craftsperson interested in antiquated and lesser-known methods and techniques. One such technique is collagraphy, a versatile printmaking process that combines elements of collage, relief, and impasto painting to create rich dimensional prints.

In this two-session workshop, participants will explore collagraphy through a range of non-toxic additive and reductive techniques.

Process Spotlights

Once a month, we turn Open Print into a focused deep-dive on a single printmaking process—from screenprinting on fabric to woodcut carving. Led by Angee or Colin, these sessions are hands-on and welcome first-time printers and experienced artists alike. No experience necessary, and admission includes all supplies.

Process Spotlight: Screenprinting on Fabric

Have a t-shirt idea or a graphic you’d love on a tote? This spotlight provides an orientation to screenprinting on fabric. We’ll move through the entire process of printing a one-color design on fabric using ecofriendly water-based inks. You’ll coat your own screen with photographic emulsion, use our darkroom to expose your image onto a screen, then we guide you through setting up your print station and the printing process. We’ll finish by reclaiming screens and heat-setting your garments so they’re wash-safe.
