Apply before March 31. We’ll notify you before April 10 whether or not you are accepted, and if accepted a nonrefundable deposit of $500 is due by April 18, with the balance due at the workshop.

To apply, send us a short letter or send an email to sasha@crownpoint.com with the following information:

  • Your name
  • The workshop session(s) you would like, with alternates if possible. Please indicate which workshop you would like to take, etching and/or photogravure.
  • Address, phone number, email
  • Have you taken our workshops before?
  • Have you applied before and not gotten in?
  • A little bit about yourself—are you an artist, printer, photographer, student, teacher, curator, or interested layperson in the print world? Have you worked with printmaking before? What medium? How extensively? Please make this brief.

We prefer not to see examples of your art as part of your application, because on principle we don’t make judgments about the art of our workshop participants, either before or during the workshops. If you attend, you will work at your own speed with help from our printers. We do have informal technical demonstrations, but we don’t have critiques.

All skill levels are welcome, including complete beginners. We’d love to see you in San Francisco this summer at Crown Point Press.

If you have questions call Sasha Baguskas at 415-974-6273.
