Complete a new edition, develop a series of monoprints, explore hybrid processes, or, seek inspiration via an excursion to the acclaimed Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, or even the Louvre in Paris. It’s your choice. Technical assistance and/or guided workshops are available for an additional fee.

An important objective of the AiR residency program is engaging our local communities via exchange of ideas and techniques. Artists agree to an artist's talk, demonstration, workshop, or open studio days.

“Kickass print studio run by a kickass dude!! I recently visited Terra Firma Press for a week-long relief and intaglio printing session with Scott and left feeling totally invigorated to get back into printmaking.”
