To learn more about the studio, inquire about a subscription, or to schedule an orientation, please email info@waterfallarts.org or by phone 207-338-2222.
The Kennedy Press is equipped with three etching presses (60″ x 38″ Conrad, 22″x50″ Dickerson Combo, 24″ x 45″ Brand), ferric etch bath, brayers, hot plate, and large drying rack. The studio is notably a “green” studio. We aim to use the safest current practices with as little toxins as possible (such as using chemicals that are solvent-free). Our studio monitors are happy to provide training on how to incorporate these methods into your working style.
Subscribers have access to a wide variety of tools and materials, including cutting tools (linoleum, wood, and etching), plexiglass pallets/plates, paper soaking and etching trays, hard and soft etching grounds, oil and water-based etching inks, eco-friendly ground remover, eco-friendly cleansers, and rags.
Additional materials such as paper, copper plates, and woodcutting blocks are available to purchase.
Have you had your studio orientation and want to book some time in the studio?
The Kennedy Press at Waterfall Arts hosts weekly Open Studio hours for folks who have some experience in the print studio or have taken a printmaking class with us and have completed a studio orientation.
Open Studio fees are $20 for a three-hour session. We recommend that interested artists call to confirm weekly studio hours and reserve a space in advance, as space is limited.
For more information or to register, you can email us at info@waterfallarts.org or call us at 207-338-2222.
Current Open Studio Sessions:
Thursdays, 1 – 4pm
Fridays, 12 – 3pm
Saturdays, 9am – 12pm
For more information, you can email us at info@waterfallarts.org or call us at 207-338-2222.
Heads up! Open Studios are monitored by skilled volunteers who are there to assist but not teach. Thank you Waterfall Arts volunteers! If you don’t yet feel confident working self-sufficiently in the studio, consider taking one of our classes or sign up for an orientation session. Open Studio monitors may close the studio after the first hour, if there are no participants.
Artists can apply to have 24/7 access to the studios at Waterfall Arts (other than class time). Cost-saving subscription rates are available for $100/month for unlimited use, or $60 for 10 hours/month, plus a one time $50 refundable key deposit. Application approval and an orientation session are required.
Studio orientations include a comprehensive review of the studio space, safety protocol, equipment and available resources. Prospective subscribers must attend a studio orientation and be approved by the Studio Manager, before initiating a monthly subscription. Those interested in attending Open Studio hours are also recommended to attend a studio orientation.
