We offer open studio access to individual community members to come utilize the space to work on individual projects and grow their art practice!
Our space is an environmentally friendly studio that facilitates people of all experience levels as a place of experimentation and discovery of the magic of printmaking.
Please read the guidelines linked here and sign a release of liability below to use the printmaking studio on your own.
Community members looking to use this space must demonstrate that they have experienced with one or more printmaking mediums and attend an orientation. Studio orientations are hosted once a month or you can schedule an individual appointment. Feel free to reach out to Ally DeRusso at aderusso@saratoga-arts.org to schedule a one-on-one orientation.
Community members without experience in printmaking are asked to attend Saratoga Arts classes or workshops to learn one or more printmaking processes. Upon completion of classes individuals may attend an orientation and purchase open studio access time.
Saratoga Arts provides a variety inks, equipment, tools, cleaning supplies, newsprint, and other basic shared supplies. Studio users must supply their own printing paper, plates/blocks, etching needles, scrapers/burnishers, carving tools, etc. Purchasing studio access helps us cover cost of consumable goods like newsprint, inks, cleanings supplies, and maintenance of the shop. You can purchase time through this form and schedule time using our booking system here or at saratoga-arts.org/Printmaking-Studio
