PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A LAB, NOT A CLASS - PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH A PRINTING PRESS, EITHER HERE AT 1450 OCEAN OR ELSEWHERE IS REQUIRED.

Laboratory for experimenting and printing with our 27"x48" Dickerson Combination motorized printing press. Printmakers with some experience are invited to sign up for printing time; bring your blocks or everything you need to work on them here; monotype, linocut, and other similar techniques will be accommodated. Paper will be available for purchase; use of shared soy-based ink in primary colors, inking surfaces, brayers and disposable gloves included (bring your apron and tubes/portfolios for finished work). Limited overnight drying space available as well. These sessions are great for folks who have taken our printmaking classes in the past, or have learned elsewhere and want to practice their skills. We're partnering with local expert printers who will rotate in an advising capacity. Check our website for updates. All day parking at the Civic Auditorium lot on Main a few blocks south - $5.

Parking is around the corner at Structure 6 on 2nd, $1 for 2.5 hours.

Upon graduation from California State University, Northridge with a B.A. in printmaking in 2013, Zeina Baltagi co-founded the Valley Print Studio with fellow artist Miles Lewis in Woodland Hills. She currently teaches classes at LA Music and Art School, in East L.A. Baltagi recently exhibited work in 'Biomythography' curated by Jessica Wimbley and Chris Christian at Claremont Graduate University. In September 2015, she exhibited in the second installment of 'Biomythography' at California Lutheran University, and co-curated with A. Laura Brody, 'Opulent Mobility (re-imagining mobility)', at California State University, Northridge. See her work atvalleyprintstudio.com and zeinabaltagi.com.
