Turn your favourite catch phrase or quote into a large font poster in this fun, weekend-long letterpress workshop! Artist Cate Kuzik of Ochre Lea will guide participants through a hands-on demonstration on how to typeset for large scale projects. Kids will learn the process of letterpress printing on SNAP’s cylinder proofing presses to create multi-layer prints by designing and typesetting with oversized metal & wood type to create a small edition of 11×15 inch posters. 

* We’re excited to announce we have partnered with YouthWrite to encourage families to get creative with Spring Arts Bucks for Youth (SABY), a rewards program offering special pricing for workshops, classes and performances. To join, you can purchase as many or as few SABYs as you wish here. Each SABY is worth $20. To register for the class using SABYs tokens please email Myken at [email protected] or give us a call at 780-423-1492

Scholarship Program

SNAP is pleased to offer scholarship opportunities to individuals for whom the costs of printmaking courses are a barrier. SNAP scholarships are intended for artists and individuals who would otherwise be unable to access our courses but whose creative practice would benefit from the high quality instruction and technical skill building provided from taking a printmaking course at SNAP.
SNAP printmaking classes and workshops are offered on a cost recovery basis and range in price based on materials and duration. A SNAP scholarship will cover the full cost of the course instruction and the basic material fee.
