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. Find us on and join our mailing list to be informed about special events and workshop update.

A Night at the Grand Opera Performance River Street Studios — Friday, August 21 A live puppet performance by internationally acclaimed traveling puppet theater, String and Shadow from Olympia, Washington. Show begins at 7:30pm. Doors at 6. BYO Chair! Come enjoy an evening of outdoor theater and giant, spectacle puppetry in Portland, Oregon at River Street Studios, on the banks of the Willamette River at sunset. Brought to you by String and Shadow Puppet Theater, “Night at the Grand Opera” is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the Opera. Rococo extravagance is fashioned with elaborate cardboard sets that collapse and unfold to reveal the many great dramas of the opera house (not all of which happen on stage.) Love triangles, converging revolutionary plots, art-loving flies and stilt-walking vermin are brought to life with cardboard and paper-mache. Fun for the whole family. Bring your own chair or blanket, arrive early for a spot up front. $20 - $35 suggested entry fee. But no one turned away due to lack of funds. The Atelier Meridian team will be doing Live screenprinting! Bring yer own shirt, or purchase one of ours. We will have a tip jar for CASH (or the Venmo) to pitch in for ink & snacks & libations.  Potluck bbq  on the riverside patio.
