Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative

Core Member Stephen Goldmeier has been passionate since joining about getting our type setting process organized and running smoothly. He taught his first workshop with the studio yesterday and it was such a pleasure to watch him in his element while sharing this printmaking process in its revered form! Participants got a history lesson and were encouraged to be mindful of organization and process, while experimenting and changing their type as they went! Thanks to all who attended and be on the lookout for more Typesetting classes in the future!

Thanks also a huge to Provisional Press for making easy to use and beginner friendly proofing presses! Everyone loved the ease of printing with them, printmaking is for everyone!

We’re still working to raise funds for our expansion & we’ve had some new followers here so we’re sharing a little about what we’re here to ‘Make Space’ for. Our Non-Profit Artist Run studio is here for our Members, our Community, and for Future Generations! We’ve been making an impact in the Columbus art and printmaking scene for over 27 years and with this expansion, even greater things are coming in the near future!
