In the Printshop

The photographs in this section illustrate the collaborative nature of printmaking, both in terms of the communal space of the workshop and the central role of the professional printer. They also reflect the distinctive tools, materials, and processes that are a part of the medium, and the vital concept of the edition, which allows prints to be distributed to a broad audience.
