COMMUNITY PRINTMAKING
COLLABORATIVE POSTER PROJECT
This multi-session project brings participants together to create a shared community poster. Participants learn basic linoleum block transfer and cutting techniques, carve their own blocks, and work together to create the poster design.
The group then prints the edition together and finishes by reviewing and signing the completed prints. The project encourages creativity, collaboration, individual authorship, and an introduction to the tradition of limited-edition printmaking.
Take Home
Each participant takes home a signed print from the completed edition.
CORPORATE TEAM-BUILDING
CREATE. COLLABORATE. PRINT.
Take your team out of the usual meeting environment and into the printmaking process.
Our corporate team-building programs give groups a chance to work together, experiment, and create something by hand. We can customize programs for your group, event, and goals.

HAVE SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND?
Not every program fits into a standard workshop.
We can work with your organization to develop a printmaking experience around your audience, space, schedule, or community.
LET'S CREATE TOGETHER
Bring printmaking to your school, library, museum, business, festival, or community.
In this workshop, participants will learn composition considerations, transfer methods, basic carving techniques, proofing, and how to print an edition with one or two linoleum blocks. All skill levels are welcome. We will provide participants with a choice of images to select from and all the materials to complete an edition of prints.
We Feel Fortunate To Have Collaborated With So Many Amazing Organizations!
