Beirut Printmaking Studio
Welcome
Beirut Printmaking Studio is an inclusive space for people from all walks of life interested in discovering, learning, and practicing art through the printed image.
Twice a year we offer courses and workshops in analog printmaking (all forms), film photography and darkroom practice in black & white, color and alternative techniques.
We devote much of our time into the research of long forgotten techniques such as collotypes, gum-prints and emulsion making and we take pride in hosting all those techniques under one roof!
