Elephant Grass Printmakers Society (EGPS) is an artist-run printmaking studio dedicated to making printmaking and letterpress more accessible to our community. We provide a welcoming, collaborative space where members and visiting printmakers can access equipment, share skills, and explore their creative practice.

Throughout the year, EGPS organizes community outreach programs and events that introduce people to the art of printmaking and foster connections with print shops and artists across the region.
