This year we have special guest instructor Andrew Testa from Grenfell Campus, Memorial University with his mobile print studio – PinT, Printshop in Tow!

Andrew Testa (he/him) is a settler artist, writer, educator, and amateur spoon carver gratefully living and working as an uninvited guest in Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland). He is passionate about community engaged art practices and works to propel and support the communities he takes part in. He is the Chair at St. Michael’s Printshop, Vice-Chair of CB Nuit, and is an Assistant Professor in printmaking at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Printshop in Tow (PinT) explores accessibility, slowness, and responsibility through the act of making printmaking portable, conversational, and meandering.At Art Camp, PinT will bring a fully functioning print studio (on a hiking trailer) to Tuckaway Farm to allow folks to learn about printmaking and make prints about our surroundings. PinT at Tuckaway looks to be accessible and inclusive by bringing the printing press out in front of the garden, beside the chicken coop, up on a trail, or wherever works for you!

Printshop in Tow is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and from Grenfell Campus.
