Atlanta Printmakers Studio (APS) provides a full range of vital and unique services and programs for artists and the general public. Members rent time in the professional studio for a fee. APS offers seasoned artists and novices alike opportunities to enroll in a range of printmaking classes and workshops. Besides activity in the studio, APS has developed a continuing calendar of outreach events to serve the local community. Each year programing has grown as we’ve added annual artist residencies, student scholarships, collectors prints, artist exchanges and an increasing number of exhibitions. We have received support for our programs from the Fulton County Arts Council, the Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs, Georgia Council for the Arts, the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund, LUBO Fund, Sara Giles Moore Foundation, and many generous private donors. We welcome all artists and the general public to join us in creating, learning about, and collecting fine art prints.
The Atlanta Printmakers Studio (APS) was established to support the fine art of printmaking in metro Atlanta. Founders envisioned an organization that would provide a well-equipped printmaking studio for local artists as well as raise the awareness of printmaking as an art form. In August 2005 the incorporation papers were signed and in December 2006 APS’s 501c3 non-profit status was approved – Atlanta Printmakers Studio was founded.

Only a few days left to apply! Our Emerging Artist Residency (EAR) was established in 2009 by Atlanta Printmakers Studio (APS) to provide emerging artists the resources to create a body of work and an opportunity for professional development. APS’s mission is to nurture the practice of printmaking by providing the means for artists to make prints while celebrating and educating the community about the fine art of printmaking. EAR accomplishes this goal by providing artists a well-equipped studio, education, mentorship, exhibition, as well as, a unique opportunity to work with practicing artists of varied backgrounds and diverse skills. For the purposes of this program, an emerging artist is someone who shows significant potential, yet has not achieved a corresponding amount of professional accomplishment and recognition as an artist, regardless of age or recognition in other fields. We can't wait to see who will join us in 2027!

Introducing our new intern: Ruth Ashby! Ruth is a young artist who loves learning about a wide variety of things. She grew up in the south, but ventured to the North West to pursue a degree in Graphic Design at Brigham Young University-Idaho. After two years of school, she is excited to be back in Atlanta for a break and to learn more about printmaking with the Atlanta Printmakers Studio! She has previously worked with a non-profit organization focused on art and education and is looking forward to learning more about the everyday work of businesses like these. Ruth was introduced to printmaking through a university class, where she worked mainly in woodcut reduction prints. She had two pieces of her work exhibited in art shows in Rexburg. Graphite has long been her favorite medium (especially for sketching plants and animals), but woodcut has become a close challenger for that position. She loves it because it forces her to slow down and enjoy the process of making art in a tactile way. Handicrafts have been part of her life since she was little, such as knitting, crochet and basket weaving, so she was excited to embrace printmaking as another tactile experience when it came along. In addition to making art, Ruth loves to read, play piano, and spend time outside. She is the oldest of five siblings and lives with her family and dog, Lucy, in Marietta.

OPEN TO ALL APS MEMBERS ⏰ Renew Your Membership OR Sign Up As A New Member. Guaranteed one piece will be selected for each member. Each member may enter up to 4 pieces to be considered for exhibition! Learn more and apply through the link in our bio.

if you can't commit to a full class session, we have just what you're looking for! 😉 claim your spot now before it's too late, the next session advanced riso class is also almost FULL! ✨

JOIN US this Saturday from 4-6pm for the opening reception of John Schulz: Woodcuts! An obsessive collector of printed matter and other visual detritus, Schulz uses chance operations, systems, and cut-ups to create new, unexpected graphical narratives. At once strangely beautiful and vaguely threatening, fragments of image and text are jerked out of context and thrust together as in “the chance meeting of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissecting table.”– Comte de Lautréamont, The Songs of Maldoror, Canto VI, Verse 3, (1869). Schulz says, “In the end, I see my work as a dialogue with some of the lower common denominators of visual culture. I want to make something beautiful out of the cast-off and insignificant, lifting the veil of banality covering the generic and commonplace. I want my work to have a presence like furniture to which other meanings might be attached, like the rubber gloves and artichokes in the paintings of deChirico. A critic once spoke of my work as “essentially leaden and humorless.” I found that to be a rather sensitive observation and took it as a compliment.”

Atlanta Printmakers Studio is pleased to present an exhibition of woodcut prints by John Schulz, winner of the 2025 Atlanta Print Biennial Best in Show Award. Fifty-three artworks were selected for the biennial by the exhibition’s juror, Todd Anderson from eight hundred five submissions. As part of the Best in Show Award, Schulz was invited to have a solo exhibition of his work in the Carol Pulin Gallery at Atlanta Printmakers Studio. John Schulz is an artist and printmaker based in Saint Paul, MN. He is Professor of Practice Emeritus at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, MA. Many of the prints in this exhibition are new works from an ongoing series that he recently printed at Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis, MN. John Schulz: Woodcuts invites visitors to view a series of woodcuts that “convey psychic anxiety, and reflect the uncertainty of contemporary life” during the month-long run of this exhibition at Atlanta Printmakers Studio.

SAVE THE DATE! Come spend time with the work and artists for our closing reception on September 1st from 6-8pm. You can also get a peak at our space and see what's new! 🧼 See you soon!

Reminiscing on the fine details of these prints from @kween504, who just wrapped up our EAR program. The push and pull of the layered prints really plays a lovely trick on the eye, but we also adore the high contrast of a deep black print on white paper. We feel so lucky to have our Emerging Artists spread out and create pieces of magic in our space!

PARDON OUR PROGRESS! We are working out a new layout for the studio since accepting a generous and beautiful donation from Mika Fowler of @sangha_press. Stay tuned, you may not believe your eyes!

Our next session of class offerings is LIVE! Register to get to secure your spot!

We already miss having these works to look at while we mosey around the studio, but we are so proud of Mada's prolific time in our Emerging Artists Residency! We can't wait to see what the next chapter will bring for all of our amazing EAR artists.

Some sweet details from our pattern printing on fabric workshop with Andrea Emmons this past weekend!

Students will experiment with analog techniques using collage, markmaking and photography to practice layering colors and making work that pushes the possibilities of this mighty yet humble office printer turned artist tool. Arantza Peña Popo is an illustrator, zinester and Ignatz Award-Nominated cartoonist who currently lives in Atlanta as a risograph technician and workshop facilitator at Posy Press at the Goat Farm. We are thrilled to have her in the studio, please join us in welcoming her as a new instructor! ✨ You can sign up for class through the link in our bio.

We are so excited to welcome Lex Turnbull as our new Programs Manager! 🪄 Lex is a southerner who approaches art as a jack-of-all-trades, specializing in books and paper, printmaking, sculpture and everything in between. As a visual artist, her work is often rooted in the ways our understanding and survival is reliant on each other and investigates our interconnectedness from a place of hope. She is a current fellow of The Creatives Project 18-month residency program. She holds a BA from Florida State University and a MFA from Western Carolina University. After graduate school, Lex taught Books and Paper at Warren Wilson College and ran Revolve, a contemporary art space and gallery, in Asheville, NC.

Welcome our 2026 Summer Intern, Desteny! 🌟 👏 - Desteny Pelcastre is the son of Mexican immigrant parents and has lived in Georgia all his life. His work is heavily influenced by his Mexican heritage and growing up in the suburbs of Georgia. Desteny’s lack of representation has influenced his choice to focus on Latino stories in his prints. Being Mexican and growing up in the deep south, Desteny has seen the struggles facing immigrant families and how these struggles are interwoven within other marginalized groups. Desteny works primarily in printmaking; he is drawn to the process, history, and the mediums multiples. Desteny utilizes the multiplicity of printmaking to spread Latino stories and immigrant struggles. His printmaking practice is focused on the spread of knowledge and the power that knowledge has to mobilize a community into action. Desteny is currently a Senior at the University of West Georgia pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Printmaking and a minor in Art History. Desteny is also the Print Studio Assistant for UWG and Exhibition Coordinator for the Art Student Union. Desteny is excited to join Atlanta Printmaker Studio as the summer intern and help spread the power of Printmaking to the community!
