ABOUT THE WORKSHOP SERIES • CENTER is hosting a statewide series of hands-on printing workshops, bringing professional printmaking resources directly to communities across New Mexico. These workshops focus on the process of creating high-quality photographic and fine art prints using professional Epson printers. Designed for photographers as well as artists interested in reproducing their work, each session offers practical, hands-on experience preparing and printing images for exhibition, personal projects, or sale.

PARTICIPANTS WILL:

• Learn the fundamentals of fine art printing and file preparation
• Work directly with professional printing equipment
• Create and take home their own high-quality prints

Workshops are open to all experience levels and are designed to be accessible to a wide range of participants. A suggested materials donation helps cover the cost of paper and printing supplies while keeping the program accessible to all.

This series is part of CENTER’s broader effort to expand access to creative resources across New Mexico and connect artists and photographers with tools, knowledge, and community. CENTER also plans to offer occasional open printing hours in Santa Fe later this summer, creating additional opportunities for participants to continue producing professional-quality prints beyond the workshop.
