ABOUT LITTLE GIANT COLLECTIVE
Little Giant Collective (est. 2016) is a printmaking studio and community event space in downtown Santa Cruz, California. Little Giant is committed to being an accessible and affordable place to create, showcase, and sell artwork. We have many free and donation-based events, including the First Friday Art Walk, Waffles and Wax, Santa Cruz Mahjong Club, as well as offering classes, workshops, and memberships.
The craft of printmaking has a centuries-old history of uniting artists and creating communities. Little Giant Collective aims to carry on that legacy. We work to nurture an environment where both novice and master printers and makers can come to share and collaborate ideas, techniques, equipment, and space. A place where one can make mistakes, ask questions, get better and be inspired. As artists, we know that working together helps all of us learn and be better. That art is a muscle that we have to work and train. Everyone is welcome to learn and fall in love with printmaking as we have.
