Print Lab is a local initiative in Perth, Western Australia. We offer a range of professional printmaking workshops for all levels of experience. Together, we have 20 years of printmaking experience, and are driven by our passion and years of teaching art. We share our knowledge and love for printmaking with others by running workshops that service our local community and by organising exhibitions, artist talks and portfolio exchanges. We are extremely dedicated to our art-form and strive to craft an experience for our participants, by focusing on individual attention and creative mentorship. ​
Some words from our participants:

“This was my first but definitely not my last workshop with Print Lab. I am a complete novice but they never let me feel that way, engaging with me on an amazing level. The class varied in level of experience but that made it all much more fun cause I was able to get some great ideas from my classmates as well. Mel and Monika are energetic, professional, courteous, everything flowed smoothly, truly fantastic mentors all around. I was amazed by what they were able to teach the class in a few hours. I highly recommend signing up. I can’t wait to decorate the walls of my home with my new beautiful prints.”
- Bianca, Print Lab Australia workshop participant

​“The monotype workshop was brilliant and Melanie and Monika tailored it to all levels of experience. It was a friendly, laid-back, yet focused environment that has encouraged me to explore more about printmaking and how it can compliment my drawing and painting practice.”
- Fiona, Print Lab Australia workshop participant
 
“Fantastic Woodcut workshop today! Very professional and well organised. Thank you so much Mel and Monika, looking forward to doing the next one.”
- Vivienne, Print Lab Australia workshop participant
