Atelier Meridian, printmaking studio in Portland, Oregon

Atelier Meridian is a working print studio and artist community at the River Street Studios, right on the Willamette River just off Interstate Avenue, near Widmer Brewery. 820 N. River Street, Studio B-1. (Turn West onto Tillamook from Interstate Ave. Take 3 rights and a left and drive behind the building. We are facing the river in Studio B-1 on the North corner.) It is a spacious art studio with 24 hour access to the presses for members, and goodwill to artists and the curious who drop in for the occasional workshop, monotype session, or cup of tea.

Behind the wall of accordion garage doors live two big Takach etching presses; a Kelsey letterpress; a Provisional Press; exposure units; and shelves of all those other pins, brayers, rosin boxes, rollers, and smushers helpful for pulling woodcuts, collographs, etchings (there’s acid), solarplates, screenprints, letterpress and monotypes.

You may work independently or hire a printer to teach you privately or semi-privately any form of printmaking you’d like to learn. Or ask us to print an edition for you. Bring a friend or two and make art together in a pre-arranged mini-workshop!

Anchored among the worktables and inks is master printer and co-founder Jane Pagliarulo. Good to have on hand either in the backcountry or at the wheel, Pagliarulo brings years of experience in monotype, etching, and lithography from the plateaus of
Santa Fe and the valleys of the Cascades.

If you would like to stop by to tour the studio, call Jane at Five-Oh-Three -729-9zero13.

I Smashed My Heart for You: the 17th Annual Atelier Meridian Print Your Own Valentine Party!Be at the print shop on the Friday before Valentine's Day to set up, ink out, & smash down your very own letterpress and/or monotype valentine to wheel away and present to the object your affections. $20 to play, but totally free to drink wine and mock us inky saps in our sappy, inky aprons.
Winter weather, be damned! We will have a
potluck, libations and a bonfire. Pull two prints, keep one, and the other you may donate to be sold, silent auction style, to benefit the vital Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition - pircoregon.org, which fights for immigrant justice in Oregon with rapid response, advocacy,and organizing. If you wanna keep printing, roll on! $5. for every print thereafter.
