About:
Designed by professional artists with workflow ease in mind, this studio is the perfect place to bring your work to life. Here, you can scan and edit 35mm up to 8x10 film, or sort, optimize, and edit digital negatives on our Wacom Cintiq touch screen monitor. Our color-calibrated digital workflow is perfect for creating affordable, high-quality prints on paper and fabric. If you are preparing work for exhibitions, the large work table is ideal for trimming, matting, and framing prints. If you are just getting started as a printmaker and need instruction or a refresher, talk to us about in-person tutorials or private workshops, including advice on the most affordable ways to print and frame work.
If you are a collaborative team preparing an exhibition, consider reserving the digital and mixed-media studio together, which also has a large worktable and an additional 44” printer.
