I am a member of a co-op press in Aurora, CO called
Red Delicious Press. As a member I get to work in a building designed by Victor Hornbein who worked in the Usonian style (think typical Frank Lloyd Wright- clerestory windows, passive solar, gorgeous wooden beams, large overhangs for protected outdoor spaces, etc) so not only do I get to work in a cool space I also get to work on three etching presses, one of which is massive and I can do my silkscreening (once our washout booth is complete). Big things are happening over there and I am super excited. If you are in the Denver area and are wondering where this heavenly place exists it is about a thirty minute drive from the Highlands straight East on Colfax till you get to downtown Aurora; the press is one block north on 16th Ave. We have exhibitions every month and our receptions take place on second Friday from 6 - 9 pm. Currently membership runs at $50 per month which gives you 24 hour access and use of all the machinery. We are looking for fine art printmakers that are interested in making their own work while also fostering a community of artists. For more information and to join email Elaine Scheffler at Elaine@reddeliciouspress.com.
