Hi,
I am a printmaker (woodcut) that lives in l’Orignal Ontario. I would like to join the group of artists. What are the steps that I need to take?
Thank you

I am a printmaker and mixed-media artist located in west end Ottawa. Could you tell me how I could become a member and what it costs?

I was wondering to what extent did Leonard Gerbrandt play in the Ottawa Printmakers Association?

Hello Henry,
Leonard was instrumental in the formation of our connective.
Thank-you

Hi there,
I’m wondering if you could suggest places in Ottawa to do basic printmaking courses. I’ve done a bunch of linocuts entirely on my own, but I’d really love to do a course to get the basics.
Thanks,
Geoff

Hello Geoff,
Try looking into the Ottawa School of Art or The Nepean Creative Arts Centre. Both offer courses in printmaking which cover the basics and more. I know that the latter still has openings for the fall.
