There are several ways to learn printmaking and practice the art and craft of printing on an etching press. One, you can join a workshop, pay their fee, and they will let you use their press when they feel like letting you in. Two, you can take a course at a college, pay their tuition and fee, and they will let you use their presses whenever they feel like letting you in. Private printmaking studios, too, will rent you time and whenever they feel like it they'll let you in. Some include knowledge and skills that the directors, faculty or individuals feel are right and let you in on what they know. Over my 50 years in printmaking, I tried them all, both as student, workshop, private studio and professor. My idea is different. You buy a Halfwood Press with a PressGhost (me) built in. that way you can use the press in your own space (or your camper!) and - with some kind of computer screen attached to the PressGhost - access - on the flash drive memory stick - your printmaking professor, built-in.
