Experimental Printmaking Institute

The Experimental Printmaking Institute (EPI) is a professional printshop located on the Lafayette College campus. We are committed to promoting student learning, community engagement and interdisciplinary exchange through collaborative print projects. We invite prominent artists from a variety of fields and backgrounds for up to one week residencies to work on print related projects. Working with student assistance, a master printer and with access to Lafayette College’s abundant resources, visiting residents have the time and support to work on projects that would be impossible to realize in traditional printmaking workshops. Interdepartmental relationships allow us to offer cutting edge technologies and professional expertise, in addition to the traditional, digital and industrial forms of printmaking offered at EPI. The resulting artistic innovation is a priceless experience for students who see firsthand how artists from a variety of fields, make and think through their work.
