Background on Elephant Grass Print Collective
EGPC is an informal collective of artists who are interested in expanding the tradition of printmaking and letterpress within their community, with their goal being both to provide access to printmaking and letterpress equipment, as well as to educate.

EGPC will also offer workshops in non-toxic etching, relief, letterpress and paper making to its membership and occasional users for reasonable rates. Membership in EGPC is open to all regardless of experience.
The EGPC studio is located at 30 School Street, Parker’s Cove, just 8 minutes from downtown Annapolis Royal. It has 3 etching presses that can print from tiny up to 22″ x 30″ paper, a C&P tabletop letterpress, a tabletop proofing press for woodcut and linocut printing, a variety of oil based and soy based inks, paper cutter, type and accessories for the letterpress, as well as paper making supplies.
