CopyCat is a printmaking studio that supports a growing and inclusive printmaking community in Detroit by offering affordable access to professional printmaking equipment, classes, and studio space for anyone to learn and practice printmaking.

We’re ready to move into our own studio space, but we need core equipment to make that possible.

With this equipment, we can offer:

  • More workshops & classes

  • Open studio hours

  • Affordable access to printmaking tools

Your support goes directly toward:

  • Exposure unit

  • Drying rack

  • Squeegees, screens & hinge clamps

  • Screen storage & darkroom infrastructure

  • Etching press blankets

  • Paper cutter

  • Moving costs to move our etching press & paper cutter

If you’ve taken a class, come to a workshop, or believe in what we’re building, we’d love your support at any level. And if you know someone who’d want access to a community print studio, send this their way.
