As of March 1 2020, EGPs is an artist run printmaking studio locating in Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia.

Formerly known as Elephant Grass Print Collective, Elephant Grass Printmakers Society is a membership-based non-profit printmaking and letterpress studio in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Formed in 2013 by a group of artists interested in expanding the tradition of printmaking and letterpress within their community, EGPs offers a space for members to share skills and experiences, and work on personal projects. We host workshops by members and invited printmakers for skill development, organize a bi-annual exhibit and build connections with print shops and printmakers around the province. Formerly named Elephant Grass Print Collective, EGPs registered as Non-Profit society in in 2020 and continues to support itself through annual membership fees and fundraising efforts.

Gelli Plate Workshop!
Our first Gelli Plate Printmaking Workshop led by Janel Warmington in early summer was such a hit, we are bringing it back on Sunday, Nov. 15, 10am to 3pm..
Gelli plates are a reusable non-toxic synthetic polymer 'plate' infused with mineral oil, that can be used with acrylic paint to create one-of-a-kind pieces without the need for an expensive printing press.
Janel will guide you through the basics of printing with a Gelli Plate including:
Care and storage of your gelli plate
How a gelli plate works
Printing with natural or found objects
Transferring magazine images onto the plate
Hand painting or colouring on the plate
Creating and using stencils with your prints
Collaging onto your gelli plate print
Printing art cards from your gelli print
Fee: $130 (includes 8"x10" gelli plate to take home)
All materials plus an 8" x 10" gelli plate are included in the fee. FYI, this size gelli plate would retail for $38 (not including shipping).
Contact [email protected] to register. Preregistration and payment is required as space is limited to 10 people. The workshop in June filled quickly, so don't delay.
