Print Lab Project

 

The Print Lab is equipped to provide all the basic tools necessary for the creation of monoprints and etchings.  Printmakers are welcome to use either non-toxic and/or traditional methods of printmaking, and will be held accountable for proper clean-up to ensure a clutter free and organized work environment for all.  Non-toxic printmakers should note Ferric Chloride acid, paint thinners, acetone and rosin used in the traditional method are provided in specifically designated and ventilated areas only. Traditional inks (and their oily fumes) are exposed to all areas of the print lab.  Traditional ink slabs are scraped clean with a razor, and scrubbed with Ajax and/or Simple Green.
