Frequently Asked Questions

How much out of class time do I get to use the Printshop?

We usually have around 30 to 50 hours of open studio time each semester. Once you feel that you can work independently in the facility you may work in any available rooms as much as you want while enrolled in a class or paying a lab fee for the semester. We provide designated schedules for each room for your reference to plan your visit accordingly.

Can I access the Printshop as a student without taking a class?

We ask that you have taken at least two classes at the Printshop before working independently. At that point, you can pay the lab fee to gain shop access.

Can I still use the Printshop after I have graduated?

Once you have graduated from SVA, you must enroll in a Continuing Education course to access the Printshop.
