While you’re exploring downtown Frederick during the Fire in Ice Festival, take a break from the cold and join us for our open house!

At 1pm, Xavier Byrdlee and Eric Groff will demonstrate several methods of printmaking and invite you to print your own editions on the etching press! Learn a brief history of block printing, how to set up and run the press, and all of the reasons to like each kind of process we teach.

From 10am to 4pm, enjoy the featured artwork in our gallery, browse our store, and take a tour of our studio space!

As part of Fire in Ice, a shuttle bus will ferry visitors from the Keys Stadium to the Visitor Center (just one block east of us).
