Atlanta Printmakers Studio Essentials

🌟 APS IS HIRING! 🌟 Atlanta Printmakers Studio is hiring a part-time Programs Manager! The Programs Manager supports the organization’s mission of inspiring a love of printmaking by maintaining a safe and organized studio space and managing exciting and fulfilling educational programming. For priority consideration apply by June 15, 2026. Learn more on our site using 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. Be sure to say hello next time you are in the studio!

NEW OFFERING! ✨ In this course, Arantza will teach you how to operate the machine, mix and match the Risograph's vibrant colors and use the scanner bed and digital platforms to improve registration and print quality. 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.

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!

Print Big! 2026 was a SUCCESS! 🌟 Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in our annual steamroller event. Special thanks to all of the participating school groups, our amazing volunteers, and our generous sponsors.

and the low temps starting with 5 is something we ALL needed after this Summer (we know it's False Fall, but we can still appreciate it)

Intro to Intaglio w Sasha Schillbrack-Cole (@sashasc.art ) ✍️ Line etching is a fantastic way to create highly rich, and textural prints with detail impossible to achieve in any other medium. This class will dig into: how to make a variety of marks on your plate using both a needle-stylus and other tools, using the acid as an extension of your drawing, and a strong understanding of how to print with the press. If you have an eye for detail and an appreciation for process, this is the class for you! Learn more and register on our website using the link in our bio!

THANK YOU to everyone who played a part in making our annual Collector's Choice fundraiser a success! We are so grateful for your support, it is truly what keeps us going. We feel beyond lucky for your presence in our beautiful space and look forward to many more years of PRINTMAKING TOGETHER!

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.

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!

Some sweet details from our pattern printing on fabric workshop with Andrea Emmons this past weekend! It is always a pleasure to see Andrea and Carol printing together in the studio, but it's extra special to watch them share this joy with others in a workshop. If you missed it this time around, stay tuned for when we will have this offering again!

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.

We had a blast hosting Westminster students for a screenprinting workshop during their Printapalooza! Mini Course. 🎈 Thanks for printing with us! 💬 Interested in bringing a group to APS? Reach out to our Program Manager kat@atlantaprintmakersstudio.org for more information!
