Sol Print
Studio
Founded in 2009 by Soledad Salame, Sol Print
Studio is a printmaking facility in Baltimore dedicated to solar plate etching
and non-toxic printmaking. Artists attend residencies where they create prints,
editions, and collaborative works. They can also develop specific projects and
are guided from conception to edition by working one-on-one with Director Salame
or Associate Director Randi Reiss-McCormack. Collaboration, an exchange of
ideas, and high quality prints are hallmarks of SPS.
