Print Lab!
Printmaking invites you to embrace the magic of chance…to discover what only the process can reveal.
Printmaking is a balance between control and surrender, a collaboration with the process itself.
Each impression, imperfections and all, becomes a mark of presence, a record of time and touch. There is a rhythm to printing: the quick pace of pulling multiple prints, the instant gratification of seeing an image take shape again and again, yet each one asks us to pause, to adapt, to surrender to what the process reveals.
Discover the possibilities of printmaking as you learn the craft, explore its techniques, and find your own voice in the process.
An 8-session journey into printmaking as a creative practice, shared with a group of up to 14 people.
Learn the essentials of relief, drypoint, and monoprint while experimenting with a professional printing press, quality papers, and your own set of plates.

Sessions in this Intensive
“First Impressions”
We’ll discuss printmaking as a creative practice and get comfortable with linocut and our group through a fun game!
“Multi-Color Prints”
We’ll explore 2-color linocut techniques and become familiar with registering our layers! Registration brings depth and harmony to your prints.
“Reduction Woodcut”
We’ll dive into how to achieve multi-color prints using just one wood block (reduction method)! Each layer will reveal new colors while gradually transforming the original design into the final image.
“Drypoint”
Switching gears, we’ll experiment with an intaglio method called drypoint on copper metal plates! This technique and material creates rich, velvety lines. A finished copper plate is often displayed as artwork itself, valued for its tactile beauty and the visible record it holds of the artist’s process.
“Monoprint”
We’ll expand upon our drypoint by adding one-of-a-kind elements to achieve a monoprint, a painterly process blending color, texture, and spontaneity into a truly unique printed image every time.
“Open Studio”
We’ll begin to discuss our ideas and inspirations for our final projects!
“Final Printing”
We’ll be focusing on printing our final impressions in preparation for the showcase!
“Showcase Night”
We’ll display all of our work for final critique, reflections, and debrief along with a class celebration (food and drinks are included, bring a plus one, too)!

Since the Creative Flow Membership is included for all Journey participants, you’ll be prorated for any days not covered by the journey, and these days will be added back at the end of the journey. This means you will not be charged again until you’ve used all the days you’ve paid for last, before signing up for a journey. (Don’t worry, we do the math for you).

Absolutely!
There’s so much to learn each time you participate in an Intensive, and they’re open level, so you are encouraged to work with the instructors to push yourself.
Plus, each Intensive is a new opportunity to make new friends and share an experience with a tight knit group of people!
If after an Intensive (or two) you find you’re ready to explore other mediums or want to dive deep into another medium, you can explore our other journeys – you’ll get first dibs!

We’d recommend you take them one at a time! Each of our journeys are designed to be a comprehensive experience. While participating in multiple (Cohort Program AND an Intensive, for example) is not impossible, you may find yourself at Drawing Room a LOT!! Which, we’d love, but may be intense!
For context, through the Cohort Program you can expect to be at Drawing Room and average of 1-2 times per week, and the Intensive is an average of once per week.
