Studio Membership

As a Studio Member, you gain all of the benefits of Basic Membership as well as access to the letterpress, screen printing, and risograph print studios (once you’ve completed requisite “Intro” workshop, though people with extensive past printmaking experience may be able to “test out” of intro workshops). Standard Studio Member prices are $30 a month or $300 a year.*

Supporting Collaborator Membership 

For IPRC lovers <3 Invest in the arts community and help the IPRC community print shop and zine library thrive for years to come! Collaborators underwrite the equivalent of five Staple Memberships, two Studio Memberships, or two printmaking workshops per year. If you love what the IPRC does and want to pay it forward and support lower-income community members, this is a great way to do that. Supporting Collaborator membership starts at $50/month or $500/year.
