Classes & Workshops

(Please scroll down or click here for information about our Guide to Print Workshops)

List your classes, courses, weekend workshops and learning opportunities in the place that all print and paper artists browse, with a link directly to your website's full information. Although we emphasize classes in printmaking, papermaking and book arts, you may list classes in other media as well as conceptual or creativity workshops and travel that includes hands-on art training.

To find a class, use the click-on alphabet, or scroll down. You can search for a specific topic with your browser program. If using Explorer, choose "Edit" at the top of your screen, select "Find" from the drop-down menu, and type in a key word. On a Mac using Safari or Firefox, select Command F for the drop-down menu. Use short forms like "litho" as key words instead of lithography, to be sure to find classes that use the short form in their titles.

Guide to Print Workshops

Guide to

Print Workshops

Our Guide to Print Workshops in Canada and the United States is the most extensive list ever published of open workshops: about 500 places, techniques and press sizes, paper and book arts, photo and computer facilities, galleries, classes, handicapped accessibility, more.

Click here for the order form for the journal and Guide or to use PayPal. Note: these are the last copies of our third printed edition.

Please scroll down to read about our project to make a new edition of the Guide available online.

To advertise here, please send an inquiry about rates and sizes to director -at- printalliance.org.

We are starting work on a new edition and new way to offer the Guide to Print Workshops right here on our website, so it will be convenient to find and update often. We want to offer the information free to everyone, but that’s possible only if nearly 100% of the workshops subscribe to our journal, Contemporary Impressions, and many also support us with their advertising in this new section of our website. So please tell your local printmaking and papermaking studios, art centers and schools that you want them to participate and support us! Depending upon the response, we may at least be able to offer the Guide here as a benefit to subscribers using the same password they use to access other areas of this website. But if we cannot raise sufficient funds with increased subscriptions, we will have to sell the Guide separately as we have in the past, with a discount to subscribers.

Printmaking Workshops: please send an email to director -at- printalliance.org with the subject “Print Workshops info form” and a brief message with your workshop name and contact information; we will reply with the new form shortly (still working out the set-up so the data can be transferred directly without retyping). Don’t wait to advertise on this page, just send a separate e-mail with the subject “Print workshop ad” for information about ad sizes and costs. And certainly don’t wait to subscribe or renew your subscription to our journal. Workshop owners and independent non-profits may subscribe as individuals using our order form, only workshops that are part of a larger institution (museum, school, etc.) must pay the institutional rate for a journal subscription.
