About Printmaking & Paper Arts
Discovering printmaking is a bit like opening a surprise gift - that first reveal of your print never gets old. I want you to feel that rush in every workshop, whether you’re a total newbie or already love making stuff with your hands.
What You’ll Explore
- Collagraph printing: Build up textured plates with all sorts of materials, then learn tricks like Intaglio and Chine-collé to get layered, expressive prints.
- Woodcut carving: Carve designs into woodblocks and see how classic printmaking transforms your ideas into bold art.
- Dry point technique: Scratch your own design onto a plate with a needle and make prints that always come out a little different, a little personal.
- Paper pulp workshop: Splash around with pulp, mix in leaves or threads, and make your own sheets of paper from scratch - it’s messy, but totally worth it.
- Handmade art books: Put it all together by binding your prints and paper into a custom book. It’s about telling your story, your way.

My Story
We built The Art Room because we wanted a space that felt like, well, pure creative chaos! No boring copy-paste art here. Watching kids light up when they hear about Picasso, or adults get hooked on pottery – that’s the real magic. We love the messy hands, the wild ideas, and seeing folks like Nandini go from shy doodler to solo exhibitor. For us, it’s all about celebrating the messy, joyful journey of making stuff.
