CONVERGENCE: Susan James & Suzy Schultz Exhibition Dates: May 9 – June 26, 2026 “Convergence” presents a dialogue between two artists who utilize the historical medium of photogravure to bridge the gap between contemporary imagery and the enduring soul of the hand-pulled print. By merging their distinct backgrounds in photography and painting, Susan James and Suzy Schultz explore the "making of something new old again," leveraging modern technology to transform photography and drawings into atmospheric, hand-printed etchings. The resulting work explores the intersection of photography and illustration in photogravure. 📸 __ “Remembering the River” Suzy Schultz Photopolymer, chine colle, pastel, Georgia clay, graphite 9” x 10 1/2” "El Camino" Susan James copperplate photogravure of a digital drawing and photo-composite imagery 9.5 x 17.5 in.

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!
