Printmakers Inc

October 2 – November 9, 2012

Printmakers Inc came into existence over 35 years ago and has been an integral part of the Torpedo Factory Art Center ever since.  The workshop can be found on the third floor in Studio #325.  Over the years member printmakers have worked in almost every form of original printmaking.  Today the membership is at 10.  Many of the members create in more than one technique.

The members each have come to be printmakers in a variety of ways but all share a love for printmaking and enjoys the camaraderie that accompanies working in a workshop environment.

All of the prints made here are original hand-pulled prints.
