Printmaking Studio

Proposals for printmaking projects are submitted through application to Creative Residencies. Artists who are accepted for these programs have 24-hour access to the printmaking studio and are required to have at least an introductory level of experience in the area(s) they plan to produce work. The print and paper facilitator leads artists through a mandatory studio orientation that covers WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) and studio equipment training.

The printmaking studio exists to support artists-in-residence, and is unlike an atelier; artists are not required to leave works for the studio archive.

The printmaking studio continues to evolve, embracing a forward thinking approach to both established techniques and non-toxic printmaking. Traditional materials and techniques remain central to studio practice, equipment, and facilities. At the same time, new technologies and materials are introduced to the field of printmaking, improving environmental health conditions for print artists. In support of contemporary printmaking, exciting new advances are at the forefront of The Banff Centre printmaking studio’s practices; self education and introduction to the latest materials are encouraged through experimentation and play.
