Entrepreneurial Coursework
As part of their coursework, printmaking students assist and participate in every step of the workshop. From selecting artists to managing the logistics of their stay, students develop the skills they would need to start their own business upon graduation. During the 2 to 4 day workshop, students learn and work closely with visiting artists to execute an edition of 20 or more prints/books.
Students also operate one print sale every year to deepen their entrepreneurial skills.
Public Engagement
The Workshop also provides opportunities for the general community to engage with the visiting artist and student's work through:
- Public demonstrations of the visiting artist's printing process
- Artists discussions and critique sessions
- Other events specific to the artist's area of interest or expertise
- Print sales throughout the academic year that highlights students' workshop efforts
The Workshop is part of Lawrence's Innovation and Entrepreneurship initiative that has been spearheaded by the Economics Department and made possible, in part, by a series of grants from the Coleman Foundation.
