Baltimore Print Studios hopes to be Baltimore's first Public Print Studio. This site will document the process of building a studio: Acquiring equipment, finding a space, renovating, building, organizing, cleaning, funding, etc. This is a big project and we're very passionate about it. First and foremost, we are looking for a space in the city. Space Requirements: -Approximately 2000 sq. ft. -Ground Floor access with no steps up or down. A garage door would be ideal. -2nd or 3rd fl. living space. Empty, industrial space is OK ideal. Zoned commercial/residential is desired.

Believe me, it's getting a little full on this end. But, when the time comes, we'll be ready.) Desired Equipment: -Any and all letterpress equipment. Vandercooks and Pilot Presses are most desirable. -Silkscreen equipment, especially a large exposure unit. (Sign shops, I'm looking at you...) -Flat files. -Industrial tables. -Large drying racks. (Sign shops, again, I'm looking at you.)  Yes, its is an uphill battle. Let's do this together. Check back. We're not going anywhere.
