Background and Analysis:
From the Community Print website <https://www.community-print.org/>:

Community Print has been a community-supported printmaking studio and creative space operating in downtown Olympia, Washington, for over 25 years.

We offer introductory Letterpress, RISO, and etching press printmaking classes, as well as special subject classes related to paper, book arts, and more. We work mostly with reclaimed materials, from donated type to paper slated for the dumpster. We make beautiful and tangible things in an antiquated fashion.

Community Print is also a future Anchor Partner of the Daley Arts Center.
