About

Members are welcome to attend the Print & Book Arts Open Studios to work on personal projects of all kinds. Each session includes a monitor who can answer questions, although no specific instruction is provided. The etching press is available for supervised use by those who are not yet certified for independent use. Letterpress equipment may only be used by those who are certified. The last half hour is devoted to cleanup.

Registration is required because there is a set number of artisans who can be in the workspace at one time.

Details

  • Etching press certification check-off is available at this Open Studio. If you're seeking to get certified for independent use of the etching press, please arrive at the start.
  • You must register (no drop-ins).
  • If you have questions, or are interested in becoming a studio monitor, email Print & Book Studio Lead at printandbook.lead@bainbridgebarn.org

Prerequisites

You must have taken introductory classes in either printmaking, letterpress, or book arts or have attended a studio orientation.

Christa Schoenbrodt

Christa, a life-long Middle Tennessean, has lived a life of creativity. Surrounded by family members who were always stitching something – whether clothing, quilts, or embroidery – her creative expression was often more about exploring fine art. Paper was often her preferred surface not only as a printmaker but as a graphic design studio owner (Studio Haus). Then she learned the artistry of block-printing repeat patterns and textile design, using skills that merged perfectly with her design sensibilities. The slower and more experimental pace of hand-printing repeat patterns presented great surprises and opportunities to accept the “imperfections” inherent in the process. She now works with textiles using not only block-printing processes but also silkscreen, digital design, cyanotype, and mixed media techniques.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabs̆ “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
