Recent CCP Editions include work by Diane Victor, Bill Jacklin, Lisa Lou, Jill Moser, Richard Meirer, Howardena Pindell, Robert Cottingham, Emily Lombardo, Julio Valdez, Julie Headland, Frances Ashforth, Kees De Waal, Amanda Seelye Salzman, Donald Sultan, and others.
One on One Consultation
For artists working at home or who cannot come to the Center to print in our studios, the printing staff at CCP are available for remote consultation and instruction by appointment. Our printers can provide guidance in a variety of printmaking processes. Scheduled sessions will be held via Zoom or comparable web-based video meeting software.
Remote sessions start at $50/hour in a minimum of ½ hour increments. Scheduling is based in U.S. Eastern Time.
Interested artists should complete the Google form (link below) to tell us more about your project, availability, and contact information so we can pair you with the right staff member and have them contact you to get you on the schedule.
