Facilities
Zea Mays Printmaking just moved into our expanded facility at 320 Riverside Drive in Florence, Massachusetts (just outside of Northampton). We now occupy a 6,000 square foot studio in the Baystate section of Florence in an old mill that once made Cutlery.
Our studio is comprised of several spaces. On the main floor we have our teaching studio with a 32" x 60" Takach etching press and a 24" x 48" Charles Brand Etching Press, as well as our Etching facilities and Photopolymer facilities. The main floor also houses The Annex and The Sanford Gallery.
