Help Build CopyCat’s First Print Studio!
We’re raising funds to equip our first print space and inviting you to help make it happen. This campaign focuses on purchasing essential equipment first while we continue working toward our own studio setup, and gives you a way to be part of CopyCat from the start.

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 start building the foundation for CopyCat’s next phase, beginning with core studio equipment.
With this equipment and our own studio space, we can offer:
More workshops & classes
Open studio hours
Affordable access to printmaking equipment & tools
Your support goes directly toward purchasing (let us know if you have any of this equipment and you’re looking to get rid of it):
Exposure unit - 36” x 48”
Drying rack
Squeegees, screens & hinge clamps
Screen storage & darkroom infrastructure
Wet/dry shop vacuum
Etching press blankets
Moving costs to move our etching press & hydraulic 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.
Not in a place to contribute financially? Sharing this campaign, donating equipment or supplies, following us on social media, and spreading the word all make a real difference. Thank you!
