ACCESS TO OPEN PRINTMAKING LAB HOURS
Qualification Review is intended for participants with significant printmaking experience who wish to access Manifest's studio to undertake independent print work outside of an instructed format. This process is a group orientation session to the Printmaking Studio followed by a one-on-one qualification review with Manifest’s printmaking technician, Alyssa Baker.
If the participant is determined to have qualified printmaking experience they are able to purchase access to attending Open Printmaking Lab hours. Participants who do not pass the qualification review will need to take either the 4-week Introduction to Etching or the 4-week Introduction to Lithography course in order to be qualified for Open Lab access.*
*The Qualification Review fee will be applied to a future 4-week introductory class for those who do not proceed past the qualification review.
