Crossover Print Classes
Exploring Through Spoons
Big spoon or little spoon? You don't have to pick in our very first 4-studio crossover class: Exploring Through Spoons!
In this 4-week class, you'll get a lightning-fast introduction to our Clay, Wood, Metal, and Print studios. Each week, the students will be in a different studio learning the material through the ancient practice of spoon making (seriously, spoons are, like, 3,000 years old)! Weeks 1-3 will be spent making physical spoons through hand-building in clay, carving out of wood, and forging in metal. The last week will be spent learning linocut to make a one-of-kind print of their spoons, culminating in a display of craftsmanship for the ages.
Tuesdays 7:00-9:30pm
Dates: Mar. 31 - April 21
Instructor: Ella Mernyk
Location: Main (3750 Canfield St)
Cost: $245

Printmaking Classes
4-Week Sampler Classes
New to printmaking and don't know where to start? Look no further than our 4-week introductory printmaking sampler! These classes provide a great introduction to the art of printmaking. And the best part? They’re all Pay What You Can!
If you’re the adventurous sort who wants to try it all, we recommend our Studio Sampler. You’ll get a taste of relief (carving into a block), monotype (one-of-a-kind prints made by layering objects), intaglio (scratching an image into a hard surface), and screen printing (silk screen stencils).
Looking to dig deep on relief carving? Our Relief Sampler will get you in the groove with Speedycut, Linoleum, and Woodblock printing.
4-Week Level I Classes
Our 4-week Level I classes are all beginner-friendly, but suitable even for seasoned printmakers.
Monotype is a unique one-and-done, never-to-be-recreated style of printmaking where you create a brand new image every time you roll out the ink. Join us to learn the basics so you can mix it up with monotype any time you like!
8-Week Level I Classes
These 8-week Level I classes go beyond scratching the surface, and start to dig deeper.
Channel your inner Andy Warhol and come try Screen Printing, also known as silk screen printing. This class will provide an introduction from design conception to making a stencil, transferring it to the screen, and making your design come to life.
No going against the grain in Linocut Relief - because linoleum doesn’t have any! Whether you’re brand new to relief printing or you’re a seasoned pro (maybe you previously took our Relief Sampler?), you’ll enjoy the smooth satisfaction linocut has to offer.
Intaglio is a process in which ink is pushed into the recesses of a plate and wiped away from the surface before printing. This class will cover drypoint, collagraph, Tetrapak printmaking, and copper etching techniques and is perfect for folks who enjoy the finer details.
4-Week Level II Classes
Woodblock printing has a rich history, particularly in East Asian cultures, where it was used to create both text and images on the same block. Also known as woodcut, woodblock printing is a relief printmaking technique where areas of the wood block that are not meant to be printed are carved away, leaving the image areas raised.
This 8-week Level II class is suitable for folks who have experience with other forms of relief printing like linocut. As wood is a harder surface to carve on, please note that it can be more difficult to carve and requires a bit more dexterity.
Adaptive Printmaking Classes
Adaptive Print
This four week class is offered exclusively to folks living with acquired/traumatic brain injuries and to those living with developmental, physical or intellectual disabilities.
Our experienced instructors and supportive assistants will guide you through the exciting world of printmaking. You’ll learn how to create a simple monotype: a unique, one-of-a-kind print. We’ll provide a calm and encouraging environment, with an adaptable studio and easy-to-use tools. Our small class size (limited to 8 students) ensures personalized attention from the instructor and assistants. Caregivers are welcome to join us.
