ImPressive Unique Printmaking

Help me give my students a printing experience. Printmaking is a beautiful technical process.

My Students

My students are always excited about learning at techniques that they haven't tried before. Printmaking is not always accessible due to cost and equipment. Being in a rural area limits our ability and access to larger studio spaces and equipment. They currently love the printing program but would really like to try a professional press to enhance thier work. And give their baron/spoon arms a rest. Lol

My Project

Printmaking is a beautiful technical process that many students have not encountered. It is also difficult to do printmaking like this at home or without a studio. We have 2 dedicated print classes and we do units with all grades throughout the year. Having access to a press would allow us to develop the current classes into master classes. Allowing us to create larger and more precise artwork. A press would help us expand our abilities to print in multiple formats. Etching, linoleum, monoprinting, etc

Please save us from potato and Styrofoam printing!
