Audrey Feltham and Atelier West Printshop

Atelier West offers one-on-one instruction at the printshop for artists interested in learning printmaking, or interested in increasing their printmaking knowledge and experience.

In addition to instruction, Atelier West also offers printing services for artists who would like to produce an edition of prints, but are not interested in actually printing the matrixes themselves. Prices for printing services are available by contacting the artist Audrey Feltham. Generally the cost is 10% of the resale price of the entire edition, but this may vary depending on complexity of the image, and the number of matrixes involved in printing.

One on One Instruction:
Audrey Feltham offers one on one instruction in relief, collograph, monoprinting, intaglio and sillicone lithography. Instruction is usually at least 5 complete days in order to completely understand the rudiments of the medium chosen. Participants are responsible for material costs and paper. Atelier West provides inks and instruction. The cost of instruction is currently at $450.00 a week plus HST for a 5 day instruction, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The studio is only able to accommodate one person adequately in addition to the instructor. Participants are responsible for their own transportation and for accommodation. There are several B&B sites very near the printshop.

Community Workshop Instruction:
Atelier West travels! We have a portable printing press and are willing to travel to your community to offer printshop instruction to interested groups or individuals. The group can be a mixed age group, or children or adults/seniors. We instruct in community situations using environmentally friendly inks and clean up. No solvents. Cost of the workshop depends on the number of days of instruction, but normally the workshop would be a Friday evening, all day Saturday and a Sunday morning. Participants of the workshop would be required to purchase their materials through Atelier West and the cost would vary depending on the medium of instruction.

Instructional fees are based on the Carfac National rate which is $1200.00 for the 3 days, plus one day preparation fee of $300 for a total of $1500.00 instructional fee. In addition, mileage rate is based on the government rate of $.38 per km. A per diem of $30.00/day is also charged for meals. Accommodation is the responsibility of the community group, but Atelier West has in the past been amenable to billeting.
