A peek into two active printmaking studios, one on campus and one in West Berkeley. The printer and book artist Peter Koch has been printing for more than 45 years — 40 of those years in the East Bay — and has designed and printed dozens of books and countless ephemera. He has also helped launch the careers of several other print artists. Viewers will get a brief history of his press and studio, as well as a demonstration of two printing presses.

The second tour will take us to the Department of Art Practice’s Printmaking Studios at UC Berkeley, conducted by lecturer Randy Hussong. Since joining the faculty in 1994, Hussong has taught print classes on lithography, intaglio, relief, and screen printing in both upper- and lower-division courses. Viewers will see the campus studios, all of the equipment, and some student work. You will nd out more about when the classes are o ered and the requirements for enrollment, as well as alternative local print studios and classes.
