We are also happy to offer trimming for faculty and staff jobs, please just let us know you would like these services. Trimming will be a $5-10 up charge.
Tours
We encourage faculty to work a class tour into your syllabus and set up the exact day/time at the beginning of the semester.
Our tours will be often be hosted by a Studio Assistant or the Production Manager, and can be customized to a specific topic or process. It can also be a simple overview of all our services. It really is up to you! After the tour, we will be on hand to answer any questions from students and discuss a specific topic or process if needed.
When looking to schedule a tour, please reach out to us at printbureau@vcu.edu
Demos and Equipment Usage
Sometimes it’s great to have a hands-on demonstration of how to do a technique. We can offer full class demos of all equipment by appointment. It is best to conduct these in smaller groups to ensure everyone can see, so large classes should be prepared to break up. We recommend groups of six or less.
In some cases, we can come to you. Topics like file prep, vinyl taping, trimming prints. Our Production Manager, Cassie Grace, is always open to new ideas and collaborations. Please email Cassie at knudsencg@vcu.edu for any inquiries.
Online Tutorials
At any time, you can show your students how to use some of our equipment. We have a few tutorial videos available for our community, and more are in the making.
