Worksessions

If you have a basic understanding of printmaking and you don't need 'how-to' instruction, you can sign up to print at the Chicago Printmakers Collaborative for three consecutive hours between 12:00 and 5:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays. The cost per worksession is $40. Someone will be there to help you find what you need, but other than that, you're on your own! Reservations are necessary so please call ahead, 773 293 2070.

Private & Semi-Private Classes

Possible areas of study include: Etching, Photoetching, Lithography (Stone, plate, and paper), Screenprinting, Relief (wood and linoleum), Bookmaking, Collograph, Monoprint, and Polaroid Transfer.

Are you interested in taking a printmaking class but can't fit it into your schedule? Maybe you have something specific in mind for a project you want to do, or you want to learn a process that's not covered this session. If so, you can arrange to take a private class. Private classes provide very flexible scheduling and one-on-one contact with the instructor so you can learn exactly what you want and need.
