12-Week Rangatahi Printmaking Programme
Ages 18–36 · Free to Participate · Limited to 10 Places
We’re excited to be running our 12-week Print Your Own Money programme again in 2026! Starting 17 February, join us at Te Kowhai Print Trust every Tuesday and Thursday for a hands-on journey into the world of printmaking — all within a safe, inclusive, and creatively charged environment.
Across the programme, you’ll explore relief printing, screen printing, and digital design, learning from experienced printmakers, guest artists, and industry specialists. You’ll build confidence, strengthen your creative muscle, and develop your own small body of work — with the option to sell your prints at Printopia, New Zealand’s largest printmaking event.
Whether you’re just beginning your creative journey or looking to develop an artistic pathway, this is a chance to grow your skills, connect with other creatives, and be supported by a passionate studio community.
This programme is free, and limited to just 10 places.
