About

This free orientation covers safety, policies, etiquette, supplies, clean-up procedures, and an overview of studio equipment. 

At the end of this session, BARN members can obtain fob access to the studio, allowing them to use the studio independently during BARN hours, whenever it's not in use by a class or another event. 

This also is a prerequisite for gaining certification for the studio's etching presses and letterpress equipment (additional steps to get that certification will be explained).

Details

  • This is NOT a class to learn how to use the printmaking and letterpress equipment.
  • This orientation is free, but registration is required.
  • If you have questions about orientation, fob access, or are interested in volunteer opportunities in the studio, email printandbook.lead@bainbridgebarn.org

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
