Introduction
Start here. BYO Print is a printmaking collaborative and community printshop for professional printmakers and occasional printers to pursue their own fine art practice amongst a group of like-minded individuals. We support your endeavors in intaglio, relief, screen print, lithography, and experiments. We share supplies and equipment, and grow and change with the needs of the artists here. Review what we keep around the shop, and inquire for more details if you seek them.
BYO Print is located on the fifth floor of Paradigm Arts Building at 12 N 3rd Street in Old City Philadelphia. Originally a factory and showroom for wallpaper in the 1800s, it’s clear to us that our space was built for printmaking! Located above Paradigm Gallery, we are thrilled to be in good company in our new home.
Paradigm Arts Building is equipped with a small freight elevator which is available by request for moving materials and for accessibility, although it is not ADA certified because of its age.
