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!
Courses & Workshops
Courses
Our courses in printmaking techniques, photography and darkroom are all 3-credit equivalent.
Workshops
Our workshops run for 1 to 4 sessions and they serve as a complement to the techniques taught in our longer courses.
In our darkroom, we are ready to process any film from 35mm to 8×10. We are equipped with four enlargers that cover small (35mm), medium (6×6, 6×7 & 6×9), and large (4×5 and 8×10) formats both for b&w and color. We also have three drum processors for developing films each dedicated to a specific process, C-41, E6 and B&W. Recently we added a RA-4 print processor with the capacity of making c-prints of 50cm x 200cm.
We have a fully equipped woodworking workshop that is available as a complement for for our community when it comes to making frames, chassi, installations or anything they might need.
