FREE TO MEMBERS, $75 Non-members
Join CCP Studio Manager Liz Bannish for a five-day overview on the hazards of the chemicals used in printmaking (and other) materials and how to incorporate them safely into your studio environment.
Are you familiar with the hazards common art materials pose, or the proper storage and disposal methods for your materials in order to prevent accidents? This webinar, presented as a series of lectures, will cover the hazards of common studio chemicals and how they affect the body, how to handle them safely, and how to protect yourself from them. This webinar will be mostly printmaking-related, but other artistic methods may be discussed. There will be time dedicated at the end of each session for questions
To prioritize health and safety in our studios, CCP is offering this webinar free to our current membership. All other participants who sign up for this webinar will be granted a free, one-year’s membership at CCP.
CCP is offering two versions of this workshop; this one is specifically designed to address the individual artist working in a personal studio. A second offering, geared towards technicians, professors, and those responsible for the oversight of a community studio is being offered later in the year in July 2022 (see our our Online Instruction page for details).
LIZ BANNISH oversees the OSHA compliance program at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking. She was trained by world renowned chemical hygienist and art activist Monona Rossol and maintained OSHA compliance at Smith College in Northampton, MA for five years in conjunction with Smith’s Laboratory Safety and Compliance Director. Liz is an artist and printmaker who has been training professionally in the arts since 2009. Her work uses themes of feminine power, anti-capitalism, and anxiety, usually wrapped in marine imagery. Liz’s personal prints have been shown on a national scale and in mediums from fine art prints, to photographs, to alternative processes. She was the Printmaking and Photo Technician for Smith College in Northampton, MA for five years. Previously, she has trained as Apprentice Printer at Wingate Studio in NH and conducted workshops for the Southern Graphics Council. She earned her BFA in Printmaking from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, receiving the John Roy second best in show award for her senior thesis exhibition in 2011.

More About The Center for Contemporary Printmaking
Mission & History
MISSION
Our mission is to support, preserve, and advance the art of original prints.
HISTORY
The Center for Contemporary Printmaking, known initially as the Connecticut Graphic Arts Center, was founded as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) in 1995, by Grace and William Shanley and a group of like-minded artists and community leaders. From its beginning, CCP’s mission has been to support, preserve and advance the art of original prints. The Center is dedicated to increasing awareness, knowledge and appreciation for prints and the process of printmaking through exhibitions, publications, educational programs and artist workshops.
CCP is located in an historic landmark 19th century stone carriage house in the Mathews Park cultural complex in Norwalk. The space is an architectural gem that has been transformed into an important and dynamic printmaking facility and gallery space. It is fully equipped to accommodate all printmaking techniques: intaglio, lithography, monotype, silkscreen, woodblock printing, papermaking, book arts and digital processes. The Grace Ross Shanley Gallery is host to many world-class historic, contemporary and thematic exhibitions of original prints including alternating biennial international exhibitions – Miniprint and Footprint – that attract submissions from artists in more than 90 countries. All exhibitions at CCP are free and open to the public.
For 26 years, CCP has given artists and art lovers alike a place to expand their knowledge of the print medium. It serves as an oasis of creativity where emerging and professional artists from throughout Fairfield County, the tri-state area, and beyond, are experimenting and learning traditional and contemporary print techniques. The Artist-in-Residence Program housed in the Helen Frankenthaler Printmaking Cottage attracts artists from print centers around the world who come to CCP to print and to teach a broad spectrum of workshops and Master classes.
CCP offers internship and scholarship opportunities for students throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut, and the larger metropolitan region. In September 2015, CCP launched the Grace Ross Shanley Memorial Scholarship Program with the goal of educating future printmakers. As part of this program, the Center offers two-year apprentice/mentor opportunities for high school juniors through their senior year, enrolling students from many of our area high schools.
