About Workshops

The Studio

    The Studio is a two-car garage behind a residential house in the quiet residential neighborhood of Overbrook. It is heated and air-conditioned with lovely garden areas around it and an outdoor work space as well. There is a Praga Etching Press capable of printing a full sheet of paper (22" x 30), a Vandercook Universal I typesetting press, large work areas, a paper shear for book making and smaller power- and hand-operated tools specific to printmaking.  Since it was built to be my personal workspace, it's on the small side as far as classes go, but that keeps the number of students low and allows for natural interactions between students and me, the instructor.     

     The first thing to know about me is that I am passionate about fine art printmaking and teaching other people about it. I've been doing this in a variety of settings for over 30 years. Workshops at the Marty Epp-Carter Studio are small in size; no more than 6 students, so you will get very personal instruction as well as the comradery of other folks learning the same thing. You do not have to know anything about printmaking for most of the workshops; they are geared toward all levels of learners. (Some are specifically for adults and some for children.) 

     The next thing to know is that while all workshops can be taken independently, some of the techniques build on others, so there could be benefit to taking them in a particular order.  See each individual workshop description for suggestions. Workshops for the rest of 2024 are live and ready for registration! They are listed in chronological order as you scroll down. Check back often if you're interested in 2025. Those workshops will be posted soon.

     And last, I'm also available to teach privately, both adults and children.  Interested folks should speak with me directly as I am still determining the details for this. (As of this writing, mid-July, 2024)
