Get Involved with the PrintBay
The PrintBay is a teaching studio, not a general-purpose makerspace.
To get involved, you’ll need to either make an appointment by emailing the director, Dr. J. Peter Moore at moore708@purdue.edu; or look for one of the following opportunities.
Enroll in a PrintBay Course
Dr. Moore’s offers various print-related Honors College courses (open to all students, preferential registration for HC students). These courses include Fall Break and Spring Break immersive experiences (HONR 299), as well as the First-Year Experience seminar (19902), and a 16-week course on small-press publishing.
Attend an Open Studio Event
Throughout the semester the PrintBay opens for the public. These events may include interactive activities, presentations for guest artists, or information sessions on letterpress printing. Check the newsletter of the student organization, the Printers Guild, for more information.
Request a Demonstration for your Group or Class
The PrintBay offers interactive workshops to meet the needs of various groups. We provide supplementary course experiences, team-building activities, and promotional poster design sessions. If you are faculty, staff, student or a member of the West Lafayette community; you can find out more about scheduling a demonstration for your group, by contacting PrintBay director, Dr. J. Peter Moore at moore708@purdue.edu
Order a Custom Print
We are building capacity as a full-service design and poster production shop. If you are a Purdue-affiliated group and have the need for a custom letterpress print (poster, broadside, flyer, business card) contact us to find out more about costs and turnaround time. As a teaching studio, we charge our clients only for consumables and equipment use. We offer one-, two-, and three-color poster designs, with minimum and maximum orders set at 50 and 250. Our typical poster is 12.5 x 18, but we have the capability to print a 15 ¼ x 24 sheet. For more information, contact PrintBay director, Dr. J. Peter Moore at moore708@purdue.edu
