The Print Shop

Our new Emeryville Print Shop is now open! This small yet mighty art space has a focus in letterpress and hand set type. There is also screen printing equipment and a small etching press. We have public workshops at both our Emeryville and Oakland locations. Members have 24/7 access to the print shop. You can visit our studio website to schedule a tour
