The Jerusalem Print Workshop, a non-profit organization founded in 1974, is an art center dedicated to the advancement of printmaking in Israel.

It is the largest and most important of its kind in the country. Its goal is to explore, along with the artists, the unlimited possibilities of printmaking, while preserving uncompromising criteria of quality of printing and materials, and upgrading standards of edition management, exhibition and commercial publishing.

The JPW, located in a spacious 19th century Ottoman building in the heart of Jerusalem, houses a workshop on its first floor and a gallery on the upper floor.

In keeping with our goals, we invite artists to work and create original art prints in collaboration with our highly skilled master printers. The artists are provided with the printmaking facilities - lithography, etching, woodcut and screenprinting - and all the guidance and advice they need.

The JPW also offers Open Studio facilities - at the moment only in etching - for artists who want to work independently, as well as courses in the various techniques for those who want to acquire skills in the media.

Our gallery stocks the largest print and artist's book collection in the country, representing a unique cross-section of Israeli art. The gallery holds exhibitions curated by either the JPW or by guest-curators.

The JPW's publications consist of limited, signed and numbered editions of prints and artist's books by guest artists. We also publish catalogues to accompany the exhibitions.
