Happy Solstice! We wrapped up 2025 in style with the last of our community workshops at the studio on December 13. It was a grand event full of laughter and joy. We saw repeat faces and many new ones. It was an afternoon of printing rainbow rolled snowflakes, creating Plasticine stamps, and printing golden wishes for 2026 with metal type on a vintage CP Pilot press.

We began hosting free public workshops in different rural communities in July. We hadn’t expected so many folks would get involved. We are thrilled seeing your creativity and passion for printmaking. Thank you everyone for sharing your time, and interest.

We are grateful to Arts Nova Scotia for supporting our pilot project, Living Histories, Storied Places, through its Artists in Communities grant. We are particularly grateful to the EGPS Board and members. They went above and beyond as the project organizers and instructors.

Now in the duller, colder days of winter, EGPS will take a short break from workshops. There will be no open studio days. This allows members to have personal work time in the studio or just recharge.

The studio continues to be open for members and welcomes new members for 2026. If you caught the printmaking bug, and you wish to take up the roller, get in touch about the various levels of membership offered. You can also visit the Membership page on our website for details.
