DRAWING CENTER PRINT STUDIO

THE OPEN PRINT LAB SESSIONS

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

Manifest’s new Printmaking Studio is a professional, publicly accessible space for etching, relief, and stone lithography. This studio brings a traditionally academic discipline into an open, shared environment where artists of all levels can learn, practice, and grow—part of a broader continuum of studio offerings in drawing, painting, and photography at Manifest.

Open Print Lab provides supervised access to Manifest’s printmaking studio for participants who have have been verified as qualified for independent work in the studio.

Booking Structure: Pass holders may reserve up to four 1-hour time blocks at a time. Studio access is scheduled in hourly time blocks. Participants must reserve each hour they intend to use the studio. If you plan to work for multiple hours, you must reserve consecutive time slots. Entry and exit are based on your reserved time. Late arrivals may forfeit their slot. Booking will happen through our Eventbrite portal once Open Print Labs go live.

Important! Access is restricted to approved users only. Participants must complete Introduction to Lithography and/or Introduction to Etching 4-week course, with satisfactory results proving qualification, in order to gain access to open lab sessions. Experienced printmakers in etching and/or lithography may schedule a Qualification Review (offered on the first Sunday of the month) in place of the prerequisite training.
