Upcoming Workshops

Soft Cover Journals
Sunday August 16, 2026
11am to 3pm
inPrint Studio, 58 Wade Ave, Unit 8a, Toronto, ON
Registration: $75 plus service charges. 

Let's build a book together!
In this workshop, we'll take a more focused look at making sketchbooks or art journals, via soft-cover sewing methods that are recreatable at home with just the basic bookbinding supplies. We'll explore a couple of stab-bound options (1 basic, 1 advanced) while playing with cover-options, and also complete a small French-sewn book with multiple signatures. Participants will complete a total of three books to take home. If we end up with extra time in class, this time can be used to keep practicing your new skills and take home more books!

This class is perfect for those who have taken our Intro to Soft Cover class but is also fine for absolute beginners. All materials provided. Suitable for older teens and adults.

Tetra Pak Drypoint Printing
Saturday October 24, 2026
11am to 3pm
inPrint Studio, 58 Wade Ave, Unit 8a, Toronto, On
Registration: $75 plus service charges

Learn an accessible and sustainable version of dry-point printmaking, a technique under the umbrella of intaglio, with inPrint!

Participants will learn the process of drypoint as it applies to tetrapack, a material found in your basic groceries supplies. Easier on the hand, and with less prep involved, this process is gratifying and creates beautiful prints. Students will get to make two plates - one 5"x7" utilizing our table top press, and one mini print at 7cm x 7cm utilizing a 3D-printed mini press. We'll explore different tetrapak surfaces, inks, roll up methods and paper options.

Bring a print idea, and be prepared to get messy! All materials supplied.
