Shared Printmaking Facilities, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, exists to keep print alive by cultivating a vibrant, collaborative community around the press. Based in the Bakehouse Arts Complex in Wynwood Norte, it challenges the traditional expectations of a printshop with active studio space that is inhabited by antique printing presses, cutting-edge craft innovations, and artists who are invested in making art with their hands. Its role in the community is vital as Miami’s only fully equipped public-access printmaking and book arts studio, providing access to letterpress, fine art printmaking, bookbinding, and papermaking facilities. It’s more than a studio, it’s a museum of practice.
