Artist's Responsibilities

  • Studio members must be mindful that this is a shared space and thoroughly clean up after themselves, as well as follow all studio-posted guidelines. All artists printing in the studio are required to attend quarterly clean-up days or schedule a clean-up activity with the studio manager.
  • A list of supplies provided by WPA is attached. All other supplies, including inks and paper towels, will be provided by the studio member. Storage is not provided.
  • Studio members are responsible for any damage to equipment, furniture, fixtures, printing blankets, etc. You will be required to repair or replace anything damaged during your visit to the studio.

Scheduling and Orientation

Online sign up for work and press time will soon be available. In the interim artists can sign up using the calendar at the studio or by calling/emailing the Studio Manager (studio@womenprintmakers.com). First time users of the studio must go through orientation with the Studio Manger before they can use the studio.
