Welcome to Flatbed Press
The Face of Contemporary Printmaking
Katherine Brimberry & Team
Katherine Brimberry, owner, director and Master Printer for Flatbed Press has been creating, exhibiting, and selling fine art prints in Austin since 1989. In this 30th anniversary year, Flatbed changed locations and expanded its operations to include a studio for community use and printmaking classes for all ages. Flatbed is dedicated to promoting the art of printmaking to artists, collectors and the general public through artist residencies, exhibitions and workshops. Now known as Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Flatbed is one of very few such centers in the United States. They are well known for the museum quality prints created at their studio and are a resource to artists and the community. Flatbed has helped hundreds of artists over the past thirty years to create hand-pulled etchings, lithographs, relief, and mono prints. Artists oftentimes travel from afar to Flatbed’s professional publishing studio which is fully equipped and provides opportunities for a full range of printmaking techniques. With Flatbed’s technical assistance, these artists have created museum quality original prints.
In the new Community Press studio, local artists have access to a wide array of printmaking and digital processes to create their work independently and 24/7 access to the studio. Flatbed also has a commitment to teaching printmaking to people of all ages and skill levels through frequent workshops and demonstrations.
Flatbed’s new gallery and showroom features exhibitions by artists with a printmaking practice and a deep inventory of prints created at Flatbed for sale.
Working behind the scenes are Mike Brimberry, Head Prepar-ator and Archivist, Alex Giffen, Printer and Community Press Manager, Emily Weiskopf, Digital and Marketing Manager, Katrina Pisetti, Workshop Coordinator and Alfonso Huerta, Assistant Printer and Community Press Assistant.
