MONTHLY LETTERPRESS STUDIO SUBSCRIPTIONS

ANYONE WHO HAS TAKEN the appropriate Lead Graffiti printing workshop or can demonstrate their proficiency can subscribe for monthly press and studio time. You must commit to a minimum of 4 months for any subscription at your original agreed-upon price. You need to be a responsible subscriber, and we need to be an accountable studio. We want this to work for all of us.

$50 per month = 2 hours of press time + 4 hours of studio time
$100 per month = 5 hours of press time + 10 hours of studio time
$200 per month = 12 hours of press time + 24 hours of studio time
$400 per month = 28 hours of press time + 52 hours of studio time

While we can be flexible, we would not welcome you banking all your press and studio time into a large “print-a-thon.”

For those who are inexperienced, you’ll need to take a technical workshop, which we can schedule as soon as possible. If you take it alone, the 4-hour workshop costs $160 ($40 an hour). Each person, up to a total of 4, will reduce the price by $5 per hour for each participant, reducing the cost to as low as $100 each. We encourage you to find additional people willing to join the workshop.

On occasions when you need more work time, the charge is $20 per hour for extra press time and $5 per hour for extra studio time. You can upgrade your subscription at any time. We will raise the amount you need to pay each month to finish out the time you originally signed up for.

We’ll email you a link to pay online about a week before your month ends. We can also accommodate cash or check payments. You must maintain the continuity of your subscription.

You have access to all associated and supporting equipment (cutter, drying racks, light table, etc.), our library, and our archives of letterpress samples. You must provide your paper, or you can buy it from us if we have it in stock. You are also expected to maintain galley slips while your work is in progress and redistribute all types you use. Presses, brayers, ink knives, etc., must be clean and ready for use by the next person. We will provide a reasonable amount of ink for your rental or studio subscription fee.

You must schedule your working time by email, text, or call (302.547.6930). Jill or Ray will be present in the studio working on their projects or studio maintenance and available for advice or help whenever needed.
