For more than twenty-five years, Inkling Studio, a cooperative printmaking workshop, operated out of a storefront on SW Corbett Avenue. Liza Jones was the organizing force and spirit of the atelier, which soon attracted artists eager to practice their craft in a supportive, vibrant environment, who were welcome to join the group via application and portfolio review. Over the decades, Inkling Studio served more than 100 members working in a variety of printing methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A collaborative spirit animated Inkling Studio. It was not a teaching studio\u2013artists were expected to be fully competent printmakers before they joined\u2013but creative cooperation permeated the atmosphere. Members fondly recall the warm environment and the opportunities to watch and learn from some of the best talents in Portland. The esprit de corps is perhaps best illustrated by the six portfolios published by Inkling Studio in which members and closely allied printmakers contributed their designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This exhibition celebrates the incredible contribution of Inkling Studio and its members to the vibrant art scene of Portland. Membership changed over the years, but a lasting commitment to printmaking and community endured. The Museum is proud to offer a selection of the hundreds of prints made at Inkling Studio. <\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"inkling-studio","image":{"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio.jpg","id":15072,"extension":"jpg","width":2000,"height":1125,"filesize":175115,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":700,"height":394,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":53936,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-700x394.jpg"},"large":{"width":1308,"height":736,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":147669,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-1308x736.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":270,"height":270,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":17456,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-270x270.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":432,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":61716,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-768x432.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":864,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":188922,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-1536x864.jpg"},"small":{"width":375,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":36053,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-375x500.jpg"},"medium-large":{"width":900,"height":506,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":81224,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-900x506.jpg"},"card":{"width":904,"height":565,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":89223,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-904x565.jpg"},"post":{"width":975,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":86984,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-975x500.jpg"},"hero":{"width":1894,"height":1080,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":261658,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Inkling-Studio-1894x1080.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2025-11-20 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"20","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-11-08 23:59:59","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"11","day":"08","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"utc_start_date":"2025-11-20 08:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"11","day":"20","hour":"08","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-11-09 07:59:59","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"11","day":"09","hour":"07","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"timezone":"America\/Vancouver","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":true,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Exhibitions","slug":"exhibitions","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":17,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":201,"filter":"raw","id":17,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/17","collection":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":290,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2023-03-28 10:28:29","date_utc":"2023-03-28 17:28:29","modified":"2024-03-07 10:38:06","modified_utc":"2024-03-07 18:38:06","url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/venue\/portland-art-museum\/","venue":"Portland Art Museum","description":"
