Spudnik Press invites you to attend our Open House and Fundraiser. Spudnik Press Cooperative is hosting a full day of festivities in recognition of three far out years of community print making.
During Open House Spudnik members will be providing free demonstrations. Visitors will be able to make their own greeting card or a patch with materials provided by the studio, and are encouraged to bring any addition materials to print on. Anyone interested in learning more about the studio is encouraged to come by, see our collection of prints, ask questions, and basque in the energy of community art making.
In the evening, festivities will move to Happy Dog Gallery. Jazz ensemble New Now Know How will perform. The event is free, but all guests who contribute $10 will receive a complimentary print. $25 donations will receive a block printed T-shirt made on site. All contributions will support Spudnik’s artist residency program, open studio sessions, free workshops, and new equipment. In addition to the auction, we will be releasing Lilli Carré newest artist book created through our residency program.

Collagraph Workshop
The Collagraph is literally collage printing at its best. In this course you will learn to make inexpensive, non toxic, extremely direct printmaking plates that can be printed using a variety of techniques including relief and intaglio. Plates can be made with fabric, glue, tape, acrylic mediums, metal grit, and found objects. The plates can be easily shaped and take advantage of such supports as scrap mat and chip board. In addition to the most direct of textural outcomes, we will explore the subtle working of surfaces as well as photographic possibilities. This is a two day workshop. The first Sunday will cover the making of the collagraph plates. The following Sunday will cover printing the plates. All materials are provided, but students should bring any found materials they would like to incorporate into their work.
