Located within an 1860s stone building, our studios are flexible spaces full of history and character. They are equipped to accommodate a vast array of printmaking techniques including etching, lithography, woodcut, silkscreen, monotype, collagraph, photopolymer, alternative processes, and more.
CCP’s campus includes the Main Building and the Helen Frankenthaler Printmaking Cottage. The Main Building hosts workshops, private tutorials, and artist member studios. The Helen Frankenthaler Printmaking cottage includes a full residential suite and accommodates artist residencies, private tutorials, or rentals by our artist members.
