Spudnik Press memberships, classes, and studio access can all be great gifts for the creatively-minded. This year, we ask our friends and family to shop locally, and give gifts that encourage making, community, and healthy habit building.

Here are some top picks of giftable experiences from Spudnik Press:

1. Annual Membership: $60

Perfect for people who have been talking about taking classes or getting back to the studio, and might appreciate getting discounts every single time they use Spudnik Press through 2015.

2: Back to the Studio Special: Membership + 3 Open Studio Sessions: $100

Combine a membership with coupons for Open Studio sessions will allow artists time to complete a full project at Spudnik and become familiar with the studio before becoming a keyholder, taking a class, or continuing to print at Open Studio sessions.

3. Ten x Ten: $30-35

Ten x Ten is a collaboration between visual artists and musicians exploring visual and auditory interaction that culminates in a limited edition collection of prints and music. Each suite features 20 of Chicago’s most talented artists, including visual artists, musicians, and composers. Each year, we have published the music in a different format; 2010 includes a download code for MP3s. 2012 includes a CD. In 2013, we pressed vinyl. Regardless which year you select, you are getting a great deal: 10 limited edition screenprints for under $50!

4. Private Lessons: $125 for 3 Hours

Private lessons allow students to design their own class that fits to their schedule, their projects, and their level of previous knowledge. A 3 hours session is a great introductory into any process or can be used as a refresher or an Authorization Lesson for letterpress. Most students take 3-4 private lessons before they are ready to print independently.

5. Choose Your Own Amount Gift Certificate: $5-???

Spend what you want and let the recipient decide what is best for them. We’ll send a commemorative certificate written to any amount with fun Spudnik stickers and a catalog of upcoming offerings.
