Tamarind Institute 2026-2027 Workshops
Beginning in Summer 2026, Tamarind Institute offers an expanded program of immersive one-week workshops in lithography in addition to the four-week workshop offered every July. In response to a demand for concentrated training for various levels and interests, Tamarind presents a series of basic to advanced workshops geared toward beginning students, practicing artists, educators, curators, and experienced printmakers who want to hone their skills.
These small classes are limited to eight to ten participants and are led by Tamarind master printer Brandon Gunn, providing individualized attention and daily printing demonstrations.
