We are so excited to welcome Lex Turnbull as our new Programs Manager! 🪄 Lex is a southerner who approaches art as a jack-of-all-trades, specializing in books and paper, printmaking, sculpture and everything in between. As a visual artist, her work is often rooted in the ways our understanding and survival is reliant on each other and investigates our interconnectedness from a place of hope. She is a current fellow of The Creatives Project 18-month residency program. She holds a BA from Florida State University and a MFA from Western Carolina University. After graduate school, Lex taught Books and Paper at Warren Wilson College and ran Revolve, a contemporary art space and gallery, in Asheville, NC. Be sure to say hello next time you are in the studio!

NEW OFFERING! ✨ In this course, Arantza will teach you how to operate the machine, mix and match the Risograph's vibrant colors and use the scanner bed and digital platforms to improve registration and print quality. Students will experiment with analog techniques using collage, markmaking and photography to practice layering colors and making work that pushes the possibilities of this mighty yet humble office printer turned artist tool. Arantza Peña Popo is an illustrator, zinester and Ignatz Award-Nominated cartoonist who currently lives in Atlanta as a risograph technician and workshop facilitator at Posy Press at the Goat Farm. We are thrilled to have her in the studio, please join us in welcoming her as a new instructor! ✨ You can sign up for class through the link in our bio.

Welcome our 2026 Summer Intern, Desteny! 🌟 👏 - Desteny Pelcastre is the son of Mexican immigrant parents and has lived in Georgia all his life. His work is heavily influenced by his Mexican heritage and growing up in the suburbs of Georgia. Desteny’s lack of representation has influenced his choice to focus on Latino stories in his prints. Being Mexican and growing up in the deep south, Desteny has seen the struggles facing immigrant families and how these struggles are interwoven within other marginalized groups. Desteny works primarily in printmaking; he is drawn to the process, history, and the mediums multiples. Desteny utilizes the multiplicity of printmaking to spread Latino stories and immigrant struggles. His printmaking practice is focused on the spread of knowledge and the power that knowledge has to mobilize a community into action. Desteny is currently a Senior at the University of West Georgia pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Printmaking and a minor in Art History. Desteny is also the Print Studio Assistant for UWG and Exhibition Coordinator for the Art Student Union. Desteny is excited to join Atlanta Printmaker Studio as the summer intern and help spread the power of Printmaking to the community!
