Printmakers Inc., opened in June 1975 at the Torpedo Factory Arts Center in Alexandria, VA, with the intent to create and promote original hand-pulled prints. Thirty-nine years later we still make original hand-pulled prints in our workshop, and show them in changing exhibitions in our gallery. We participate in outreach to the public through special events, demonstrations and explanations about printmaking techniques. The membership consists of ten dedicated and skilled printmakers, working in a variety of media. Several artists work with relief techniques (woodcuts, linocuts), others do monoprints, lithography, intaglio (etching, etc.), and silkscreens. Some work in more than one medium, and many combine different techniques, experimenting with new ideas. We learn from each other and support our fellow printmakers' efforts. The style of our work ranges from representational to abstract, black and white to color. is working with a New England printmaking group to create a portfolio of prints. Among different venues, the co-op has recently exhibited as a group in Williamsburg, VA. Studio 325 is open every day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. You are invited to visit our studio to see our work and ask questions.
