Mixit offers various workshops throughout the year as well as tutorial sessions for one to three people.
Tutorials are handled on a request basis and are designed to meet individual and specific needs.
In the summer months we offer residencies for artists who want a sequence of days to focus on a particular project, or just to experiment.
Working one-on-one, I am able to focus attention on exactly what each artist wants to learn for their particular way of working. The sessions became combinations of critique and technical information that fed directly into aesthetic sensibilities. Each artist receives the same number of hours of attention as in a workshop, but in a much more concentrated way.
Cost: $650 for a full day on your schedule

This workshop combines painting with translucent watercolor with the alchemy of working on a press. The result is an exciting fusion of luminosity and complex color layering.
It's an excellent way for watercolor painters to get into printmaking, and for printmakers to work in a spontaneous and fresh medium.
Some experience in watercolor or printmaking is preferred.
Cost: $650
Hours: 10 am to 4 pm

In this new 5-day workshop, you’ll learn how to take your prints to another level conceptually and technically. We’ll get inspiration from artists who combine a variety of media and techniques with print. Through group brainstorming and individual discussion, you’ll get feedback on the how, why and where you may want to take your ideas. Importantly, you will explore and experiment with ways to think outside of the flat rectangle.
We will work with different materials (fabric/textiles, different papers, metals, etc.), printing methods (embossments, collagraphs, collage, etc.) as well as construction possibilities. You do NOT need to be an experienced printmaker to enjoy this workshop. However, you do need curiosity and a willingness to experiment. We will use non-toxic materials and methods and straight-forward, doable techniques.
Cost: $600 + $25 materials fee

Joel Janowitz is offering a 4-day intensive oil-based monotype workshop at Mixit. This is a great opportunity for painters and/or printmakers to dive into monotypes, often called “the painterly print.” Janowitz will introduce a variety of monotype techniques including trace, additive and subtractive inking, stencils, and multiple press runs. The workshop will also explore VISCOSITY printing — the surprising ways inks of different viscosities (stickiness) interact with each other to build lively and richly complex prints.

Hours: 9:30 am to 5 pm
