Printmaking is a radical and dynamic art form inherently collaborative in nature. It is fundamentally a rewarding teacher, one that in its learning does not punish mistakes providing an excellent access point to making art.  Newfoundland and Labrador has a rich history of printmaking.

Print Shop in a Box works by delivering a portable studio that is flexible, and adaptable, and an ongoing resource for the public to learn about printmaking. All for FREE to participating communities. Printshop in a Box will foster sustainable, mutual, and nurturing relationships with rural communities in the province.

By including hardware that accommodates various degrees of dexterity, a mounting board for easier use, ink that is water soluble, and instructions in a ‘zine (also found on the resource tab below) and video that will appear in English and French. We hope to meet the community on their level and foster creativity through printmaking.

This website will be a living document for all participating communities in response to the need to connect smaller communities in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.

Get your community together and reach out to host your own Print Shop in a Box workshop!
