CPC is offering more classes than ever before, many of them brand new. We are offering a group Lithography class for the first time in years, and a new Relief printmaking course that will be team taught by power print duo Sanya Glisic and Duffy O'Connor - you won't want to miss this unique opportunity to learn from these amazing teachers. CPC is also happy to introduce Christopher Blume to our teaching staff, and of course the ever popular Megan Sterling will be back at the helm of the Screenprinting and Bookarts courses.
