If you've got some first-time prints you'd like to share - send them along!!
The Lillstreet Print Department offers classes in a complete range of printmaking experiences. We cover all intaglio techniques, relief and blockprint, plate lithography, monoprint, letterpress and screenprint and we also classes that explore printmaking techniques on clay. In addition to providing information about printmaking classes, workshops, artist lectures and exhibitions on the subject of print, get the scoop on what the print faculty are up to.

...and a panel discussion at DePaul:
Printmaker as Distributor, Collaborator, and Facilitator
October 7, 6-7:30pm
DePaul University Museum
2350 N. Kenmore Ave
How does the history of print as a medium for the dissemination of information affect the role of contemporary printmakers? Does this draw more educators to the medium? How does the communal print studio affect the nature of artwork being created? Does the emphasis on technique, craft, and tools create an environment welcoming to new students or restricted?
Printmaker as Distributor, Collaborator, and Facilitator will explore the role of education within contemporary printmaking. Panelists will include Wrik Repasky, Coordinator of Printmaking at Harold Washington, Tom Lucas, Director of the Printmaking Department at Lill Street Art Center, and CJ Mace, MFA student through Columbia College Book and Paper program. The panel will be moderated by Angee Lennard, founder and director of Spudnik Press Cooperative.
It would be great to see you at either event if you're able to come!
