Printmaking Studio

The Printmaking Studio is open by appointment only.

There will be no new orientations this semester.

Need copy and link for consultation

1. Fill out the brief campus access survey. This will help you choose your building, and ensure you have undergone covid testing prior to your visit.
2. Make a Technician Consultation.
3. Request your on campus workstation reservation at least 48 hours in advance of coming to campus.

To meet social distancing needs we have 5 designated spaces:

• 1 for Lithography
• 1 for Etching
• 1 for the Vandercook
• 2 stations for Silkscreening

These stations should only be used for printing. All pre-print work should be done before your appointment at the print shop. You will only have access to one print station during your appointment which is granted for the entire open hours of the print shop.

In an effort to facilitate making this semester, we will be allowing students:

• Screen coating and exposure. In addition to our normal screen access use within the shop, we are allowing for students to drop off their own film along with their own preapproved screens to be coated and exposed free of charge. This service is offered for all students, the only requirement is they must first request an appointment slot consultation with a technician. Screens must be no larger than 24 x 36. Film may be purchased for this process.
• Exposure of photolithography plates.
• Exposure of solar etching plates.
• Etching of copper plates in ferric acid.

Did you leave work in the Printmaking Studio and need to pick it up?

Appointments are available Wednesdays, 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.

To meet social distancing needs there is only one reservation per day for one student working with the supervision of a technician. The equipment that can be accessed are: Vandercook, Platen Press. Nipping Press and the Guillotine. These stations should only be used for printing, pressing and cutting.
